Grand Ballroom AB (Case Study)
Workshop Description
Implementing culturally sensitive LGBT programs in the world's fastest growing economies can be challenging for multinational corporations. In many growth markets, barriers such as a penal code criminalizing gay relationships and non-supportive legislation are unfortunately still a reality today. Long recognized as the global leader for implementing LGBT programs and policies, IBM is committed to providing a safe, open and inclusive working environment for its 440,000+ employees worldwide. This workshop presents best practices and lessons learned on how IBM has addressed the LGBT community from a workplace and marketplace perspective in key growth markets across Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
