Resum

In May 2013 the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights published a report on the experience of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in the E.U. and Croatia. Data from over 93,000 LGBT individuals make evident an uncomfortable truth concerning the reality of sexual minorities in Europe. Despite progress in some areas, many LGBT individuals still experience discrimination and hostility in various life domains. These findings are paralleled by reports from other countries that show similar unfortunate patterns. Fortunately, there are also winds of change. Government and private and public organisations in multiple countries have begun to recognize the social and economic imperative of LGBT inclusion. Efforts of such organisations help raise awareness of the need to increase societal openness for LGBT people. Naturally, many of these efforts are focused on creating a more inclusive workplace environment. By now, thanks to such projects, we know more about the challenges LGBT individuals face at work and what companies can do to support them.
