Members’ breakfast in Jönköping: LGBTQI in the workplace – feeling safe as opposition grows **CANCELLED**

**CANCELLED**

Due to a lack of registrations, we have decided to cancel the members’ breakfast and will announce a new date in the spring.

How employers can foster a sense of security as opposition grows

How can employers create a sense of security for their staff whilst helping to combat negative attitudes towards LGBTQI people in society?

Attitudes towards LGBTQI people have deteriorated amongst young people, according to the Forum for Living History’s attitude survey. At the same time, RFSL’s safety survey shows that LGBTQI people experience significantly greater insecurity both in the workplace and in public spaces than the general population. The growing backlash against LGBTQI rights is therefore placing new and increasingly demanding requirements on employers.

As a starting point, we draw on the knowledge we have gained from our Learning Fridays on 23 October, when we will hear from experts, lobbyists and members on how we can take practical action.
