Mission Statement
Out & Equal Workplace Advocates is committed to ending employment discrimination for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender employees. We believe that people should be judged by the work they do, not by their sexual orientation or gender identity. Every day, we work to protect and empower employees to be productive and successful—so they can support themselves, their families, and contribute to achieving a world free of discrimination for everyone.
About This Cause
The workplace is changing. More companies realize that in order to be competitive, they need to attract and retain the best employees, create a safe and supportive environment for all their employees, and undertake specific efforts to prohibit discrimination and harassment. These efforts are particularly important for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender employees, who have historically not been able to be fully themselves where they work—and therefore not fully valued and contributing members of the workforce. That’s where Out & Equal comes in. We are the only organization devoted to bringing about equality in the workplace by working closely with Fortune 500 companies around the world to help them provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for their LGBT employees. Since 1996, we have collaborated with corporations to help them provide professional development opportunities; establish and support ERGs for their lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender employees; develop hiring policies and training programs; provide networking opportunities; and develop career advancement programs. At our annual Workplace Summit, we bring together LGBT employees, HR professionals, and executives from around the world to learn from each other and from experts. We work at all levels within companies: ERGs, HR teams, executives and individuals. Out & Equal takes the view that supportive, collaborative, professional partnerships lead to workplaces that are free from discrimination and help all people thrive. Our personal relationships—and the trust we've built—are the reasons we have been so successful.
