| In alignment with this year’s conference theme “Understanding the Inclusive Organization,” our symposium focuses on issues related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) employees from an organizational and individual perspective. It is estimated that 10 million Americans identify as LGBT (i.e., 4.1% of the U. S. population; Gates, 2017). Accordingly, organizations have begun adapting their HR practices to recognize this sizable population (e.g., partner benefits, anti-discrimination training; Day & Greene, 2008; Pichler, Ruggs, & Trau, 2017), and LGBT issues have begun to receive greater attention in management research. While public perceptions of LGBT people have become more positive, LGBT employees still face challenges at work, including harassment and discrimination (Sears & Mallory, 2011), and organizations are still learning the best ways to create a diverse, cohesive, and collaborative environment (Colgan & Wright, 2011; Pichler et al., 2017). Hence, our symposium takes a holistic look at LGBT issues and inclusivity in the workplace, including transgender and gender non-binary employees - a population that is just beginning to appear in management research (Webster, Adams, Maranto, Sawyer, & Thoroughgood, 2018). Although organizations are slowly becoming more inclusive, according to the National Transgender Discrimination Survey, approximately 78% of transgender employees reported being harassed or mistreated at work, and 47% reported being discriminated against in terms of hiring, promotion, or job retention (Grant, Mottet, Tanis, Herman, Harrison, & Keisling, 2010). Our symposium contributes to this growing diversity literature by highlighting how organizations might foster inclusivity toward LGBT employees, both organizationally and interpersonally. |
