Creating Inclusive Workplaces for LGBT Employees “Stonewall has been working since 1989 for equalilty for gay people. Through our Diversity Champions programme we now work with the employers of 5.5 million people in Britain A Resource Guide for Employers in Hong Kong to improve the working environment for lesbian, gay and bisexual people and each year we produce Stonewall's Workplace Equality Index, an annual benchmarking exercise that showcases Britain's top employers for gay people. We congratulate Community Business and its sponsors, Goldman Sachs and IBM, for initiating this important piece of work for Hong Kong. We hope that it will pave the way for greater awareness of the issues facing the LGBT community and also inspire companies to take positive steps to create open and productive workplaces for all.” Ben Summerskill Chief Executive Stonewall For more information on Stonewall's workplace programmes go to www.stonewall.org.uk/workplace Sponsors: Advisory Group: This publication is also available in Chinese in electronic format on the Community Business website.
