More about the book

Creating LGBTQ2+ inclusive spaces is essential for organizations, as failing to do so can lead to significant financial losses from low productivity, high staff turnover, and reputational damage. Simply displaying a rainbow logo during Pride Month is insufficient. In this insightful follow-up to a bestselling work, diversity and inclusion expert Michael Bach provides a comprehensive guide to fostering inclusivity for those who don't conform to traditional "straight" and "cis" norms. Readers will gain a clear understanding of LGBTQ2+ terminology, including the distinctions between sexuality, gender identity, and gender expression. Bach humorously outlines how to transform any environment into a Safe Space, implement and enforce a Code of Conduct, and tap into the lucrative "pink dollar," which exceeds $1 trillion annually in Canada and the U.S. This essential resource is invaluable for leaders, HR professionals, CEOs, and managers at all levels. Whether you identify as an ally or are unfamiliar with the concept, this guide equips you with the knowledge needed to create a safe, productive, and thriving environment for LGBTQ2+ individuals, ensuring inclusivity for everyone, regardless of their identity or expression.
