Breaking the Rainbow Ceiling

Angebote / Angebote:

A compelling look at the challenges facing professionals in the LGBTQ+ community, as they navigate their careers - with advice from many senior figures who have smashed their own rainbow ceilings. Currently, in the Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 combined, there are only four out LGBTQ+ CEOs, only 0.38% of the Fortune 500 companies' board positions are filled by LGBTQ+ people, and in the UK, the numbers in the public sector are not dissimilar. This gives us insight into some of the hidden differences in, and challenges to, professional opportunity that continue to play out for LGBTQ+ people around the world. Breaking the Rainbow Ceiling explores why this community remains underrepresented at the most senior levels of professional life, and how all of us - from companies, boards, and HR professionals, through to individuals navigating their career paths - can address these barriers to help everyone thrive and succeed. The book shares insights from interviews with high-profile LGBTQ+ leaders to identify common problems and areas where opportunities exist. It also provides strategies to overcome those challenges and empower people to reach their full professional potential.
