Trans and non-binary people welcome: 2nd LGBT+ Financial Sector Symposium

02/11/2022 | 15:00

ČSOB Head Office, Výmolova 353, Praha 5 150 00

The financial sector is facing many challenges, such as regulation, an increasingly conservative culture, and information systems not friendly to all gender identities. Such an environment is not always welcoming or empathetic to LGBT+ employees and customers, which is an especially harsh reality for trans and non-binary people. Let’s show our fellow citizens more support and respect than the government permits.

Description

According to scientific estimates, there are up to one million LGBT+ people in our society. The situation in the Czech workplace is not ideal – more than 50% of LGBT+ people in the Czech workplace always or very often hide their different orientation or gender identity.

11% of LGBT+ people felt discriminated against in the workplace in the last five years.

49% of young people go “back in the closet” in their first job (they choose to hide their different orientation or gender identity, although they did not do it before).

 

GOALS OF THE SYMPOSIUM. WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN US?

  • The main goal is to identify available best practices for the topics
