Over the last decade workforce diversity has attracted much
scientific attention. Given the shortage of literature on issues
related to homosexual, bisexual and transgender employees, compared
to other facets of workforce diversity, this book opens up new
perspectives on this issue. Emphasis is placed on the equal
consideration of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues.
Thus the predominance of lesbian and gay issues in LGBT research
(and practice), will be contrasted by an explicit consideration of
the unique experiences, stressors and related needs of bisexual and
transgender employees. Contributions provide deeper insights into
the differing experiences the whole spectrum of LGBT employees make
in the workplace in different national and occupational contexts.
Furthermore, the collection offers contextualized insights for
evaluating and conceptualizing organizational initiatives aiming at
a higher level of inclusion for LGBT employees.
