As inclusion practitioners and advocates, we strive to make space for everyone in the work we do. As we increasingly contemplate the impact of intersectionality at work, we have to ask ourselves - are we thinking broadly enough?
In 2020, gender equality and parenting experts Grace Papers partnered with LGBTQ+ inclusion experts Pride in Diversity on a piece of research titled An Inclusive Approach to Parenting. The objective of this research was to answer the question: What are the intersectional impacts of care, career and sexual orientation in workplaces?
Specifically, the research intended to answer:
- Are workplace parental leave policies inclusive of all family structures?
- How can workplace practices be improved to better support rainbow families?
- What barriers get in the way of an inclusive parenting experience for same gender couples?
- How does bias and discrimination impact rainbow families in the workplace?
Join this DPA event via Zoom on Thursday 20 May, 12-1pm to understand the findings of this research, how to put it into practice, and learn from Kristy and Prue as leading inclusion practitioners.
