In the UK, among the resources provided, Outversing gives 20 concrete actions for employers to include and support LGBTQ+ staff, which go from ensuring inclusive language in documentation, having a transitioning policy, to gathering and publishing data on LGBTQ+ inclusion in the workplace. Another resource is the Outversing Mentor Programme, which aims at supporting LGBTIQ+ talent and allowing it to thrive.
