LGBT WORKPLACE INEQUALITY IN THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE: INTERSECTIONAL PROCESSES, ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXTS, AND TURNOVER CONSIDERATIONS
How do lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) employees fare in US workplaces? Beyond formal discrimination, do LGBT workers encounter biases that degrade the quality of their day-today workplace experiences?

LGBTQ Inclusivity and Language in the Workplace
To quote Bill Crawford, “Diversity, or the state of being different, isn’t the same as inclusion. One is a description of what is, while the other describes a style of interaction essential to effective teams and organization.” The workplace should be an environment where people feel safe to focus on getting work done.

The Relationship Between Sexuality–Professional Identity Integration and Leadership in the Workplace
How do members of minority groups navigate identity in the workplace—such as being both a sexual minority and a working professional?

The current
