  • Supporting Bisexual Employees in the Workplace a Springboard Resource to Assist with Why and How to Get Started with Supporting Bisexual Employees
    Supporting Bisexual Employees in the Workplace A springboard resource to assist with why and how to get started with supporting bisexual employees. Foreword Caroline Gorski Group Director, R2 Data Labs at Rolls-Royce At Rolls-Royce, as is increasingly the case across the entire Engineering sector, we recognise the benefits of creating a diverse and inclusive place to work. Not only is this simply the right thing to do, but it is also necessary for the sustainment of our business. After all, diversity leads to a more innovative way of working – critical for any Engineering company – and not to embrace difference will only set limitations on our capabilities. For this reason, I was delighted when I was invited to speak at the InterEngineering Midlands workshop on Bi Visibility in the Workplace. I’m not one for labels, but as someone who could from the outside be labelled as bi, I see Bi Visibility as about having an identity and not being hidden in plain sight. It is entirely possible for those in the bi community to not need to surface themselves – simply put, we’re often categorised as gay, lesbian or straight based purely on the type of relationship we may be in. Sometimes being visible can lead to being judged, including by the gay and lesbian community, as someone who either can’t make up their mind or who continues to be in an adolescent phase of indecision. Outside of the gay community, bisexuality often generates a notion that bi people are greedy or want everything, which can lead to antagonism with an underlying element of sexism, particularly for bi women.
