Helping Your Organization Realize the Business of Belonging™
Join the Out & Equal Community
Building Businesses of Belonging Is a Long Game
Business leaders know that:
The business case for inclusion and belonging has long been confirmed through data, experience, market performance, shareholder earnings, and case studies.
Workplaces that leave inclusion and belonging behind are leaving money on the table, because at the end of the day, belonging is fundamentally about optimized talent and culture for business results.
It is a marathon, not a sprint, and that their organization’s recruiting, retention, brand loyalty, and bottom line will tell the truth.
When Out & Equal was founded, we proudly declared that no one should have to choose between being out or equal in one of the most important places we spend much of our lives: work. For some, that was a radical idea. But through our hundreds of business Partnerships, our global work to convene thousands of allies and community members, and our strategic approach to tying belonging to business results, Out & Equal has helped countless organizations make this once radical idea—now a business
