Written By Rhodes Perry

Any day now, the United States Supreme Court will decide if LGBTQ+ workers are protected from employment discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Currently, 29 states lack such protections, which may explain part of the story as to why 46% of LGBTQ+ employees remain closeted on the job.

Regardless of how SCOTUS rules, what more could businesses committed to building fully inclusive organizations - businesses like yours - do to underscore their LGBTQ+ inclusion values during this historic moment? 

If this question sparks your curiosity, then consider tuning into this dynamic panel discussion, and gain a better understanding of the cases under review, the implications of the Court’s decision, and how it may impact your business along with those you do business with located in other parts of the country.
