This talk will begin with an overview of the various ways this inequality can show up: disadvantages can emerge not only in feelings of social marginalization\, but in a lack of professional respect and opportunities and even negative health and wellness outcomes. I discuss the kinds of work contexts that can amplify or undermine these inequalities\, using the science and tech sector as a case. I end by discussing the cultural “rhetorics of resistance” that employees and organization leaders sometimes use to block LGBTIQ+-inclusive diversification efforts and strategies for confronting those rhetorics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo be professional is to be straight?: Heteroprofessionalism at work \n\n\n\nProf.dr. Jojanneke van der Toorn (Institute of Psychology at Leiden University) \n\n\n\nThis talk explores the intricate dynamics of heteroprofessionalism in the workplace\, focusing on the repercussions of possessing and disclosing an LGBTIQ+ identity on employees’ well-being and career trajectories. It delves into how disclosing a queer identity can be a double-edged sword\, with disclosure perceived as unprofessional while concealment is seen as dishonest. The talk also addresses the diverse experiences within different subgroups of the LGBTIQ+ community\, underscoring the complex challenges faced by LGBTIQ+ individuals in professional settings\, and advocates for inclusive organizational policies that support authenticity and professional equality for LGBTIQ+ employees. \n\n\n\n\n\n“For us to solve these deeply culturally entrenched problems\, we have to restructure the very idea of what it means to be a professional” – Dr. Erin Cech (University of Michigan)This quote nicely summarises the key message of last week’s LGBTIQ+ Workplace Inclusion Symposium at Leiden University\, marking the opening of the Academia@WorkplacePride year.The symposium was opened by Michiel Kolman \, Workplace Pride co-chair and Academia@WorkplacePride Lead who highlighted the increasing importance of bridging science and practice given the worrying trends in lgbtiq+ acceptance near and far.In her keynote\, Erin A. Cech provided an overview of the various ways that LGBTIQ+ inequality can show up in the workplace: disadvantages can emerge not only in feelings of social marginalisation\, but in a lack of professional respect and opportunities and even negative health and wellness outcomes. She discussed the kinds of work contexts that can amplify or undermine these inequalities\, using the science and tech sector as a case\, and ended by discussing the cultural “rhetorics of resistance” that employees and organisation leaders sometimes use to block LGBTIQ+-inclusive diversification efforts and strategies for confronting those rhetorics.In my keynote\, I further discussed the implications of heteronormativity at work by discussing the concept of heteroprofessionalism\, or the norm that to be professional is to be cisgender and straight. I presented recent research findings demonstrating how disclosing a queer identity can be a double-edged sword\, with disclosure perceived as unprofessional while concealment is seen as dishonest. I also addressed the specific challenges experienced bi+ employees\, and what can be done to mitigate these.Then\, a panel consisting of Melati Tamsma\, Pascale Wautelet\, and Roos Beerkens PhD\, and moderated by Kshitij Mor reflected on the keynotes\, offering insights and examples from their diverse workplaces.Many thanks to the audience for participating in the symposium\, the speakers\, moderator\, and panelists for sharing their insights\, and Christine Holtkamp\, Chenhao Zhou and Paula Hoffmann for their tireless efforts behind the scenes towards making the symposium a success! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn behalf of Leiden University\, Workplace Pride\, and the organising team\, \n\n\n\nProf.dr.

SUMMARY:How to support LGBTIQ+ employees in Eastern Europe? Member Exchange #5
DESCRIPTION:Member Only Event \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis member exchange is a follow up session from the breakout session during our last International Conference. LGBTIQ+ policies & practices can be very complex in some countries from legal\, cultural and personal angles. So how do employers reconcile their global policies with the reality on the ground? How do they support their employees and how can they work with other organizations so they are not operating in a vacuum? This session takes a deep dive into these issues from both an employer and employee perspective and hears from those who have lived experiences on all sides of the topic with a focus on Eastern Europe. \n\n\n\nAt Workplace Pride we hold regular member exchanges. These member exchanges are interactions\, collaborations\, and support networks established among members of Workplace Pride who share a commitment to promoting LGBTIQ+ inclusion in the workplace. These exchanges involve the sharing of knowledge\, experiences\, best practices\, and resources related to fostering diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) in work environments. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nMember Login Access
