Synopsis

This volume brings the issue of gays in the workplace out of the closet. Its premise is that gays (both gay men and lesbians) are an integral part of the diverse workforce, and that companies must include them specifically in their diversity plans, education programmes and non-discrimination practices. The book also: supplies hard evidence that taking a progressive stance has a positive impact on corporate profitability, productivity and even public opinion; replaces myths with facts about gays and workplace issues; shows how to create a harassment-free, inclusive workplace that respects the rights, and answers the concerns of all employees; reduces conflict and fear (for both gays and straights); shows how to develop an AIDS/HIV educational programme that can save lives; presents personal stories of gays and their experience in the workplace; and explains domestic partner benefits - why they are so important to gays, how to include them in benefits programmes and what they will cost, how to overcome objections, and tax issues.
