LGBTQ+ Speakers
The month of June was chosen for LGBT Pride Month to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June 1969
As a result, many pride events are held during this month to recognize the impact LGBT people have had in the world.
LGBT speakers are invaluable to a fully integrated and happy workforce. Thankfully many businesses understand the power of a workplace that is truly inclusive. A workplace where all LGBT employees are accepted.
Companies recognize an inclusive workplace provides a healthy environment for employees resulting in improved individual, business, and organisational outcomes.
The Speakers Agency has many respected LGBT speakers. They address the ever-important topics of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. They have the requisite understanding of cultural issues affecting the LGBT community. Furthermore, they can assist businesses to encourage acceptance and awareness among the employees.
In addition, businesses holding events to help their teams recognize the value of different perspectives proves a lot. For instance, that they are prepared to embrace and create positive change.
And that is where we come in.
