This edition will focus on attracting young LGBTQ+ talent as well as sharing leading research on diversity and inclusion and best practices from D&I experts and myGwork corporate partners.
Key Facts:
- Gen Z are the most diverse generation in relation to their sexual orientation according to Ipsos research.
- With an increase in the percentage of people who identify as LGBTQ+ within generation Z, the talent pool they represent also increase, accounting for 1/5th of the total talent.
