Research over the past three decades have demonstrated that even though organisations may have the requisite diversity in their midst, the employees may not feel that all the strands of their social identities may be appreciated and included – hence, leaving them feeling excluded.

LGBTIQ+ workplace inclusion: A global issue requiring a transdisciplinary and intersectional approach
Scholarly interest in the workplace experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer (LGBTIQ+) employees has increased over the past decades (Velez, Adames, Lei, & Kerman, 2021; Byington, Tamm, & Trau, 2021).
