Customer Reviews

A valuable resource for gay employees and their bosses.

Research shows that organizations committed to a diverse workforce experience better customer satisfaction, profitability and competitiveness. This book describes strategies for creating a productive, creative, inclusive organization (like those described in "The 100 Best Places for Gay Men and Lesbians"). It focuses on four areas: non-discrimination policies that include sexual orientation; domestic partnership benefits; employee education about sexual orientation, and AIDS education. The authors point out that while employers can't control employee beliefs about gays and lesbians, they can control employee workplace behavior toward gay and lesbian coworkers. A important resource for managers, and for gay men and lesbians who want to nudge their employers in the right direction
