Out to Succeed: Realising the full potential of your LGBT+ talent

Out to Succeed: Realising the full potential of your LGBT+ talent is new global research that discusses how businesses can succeed in an environment that enables LGBT+ talent to thrive. It asks and answers questions like: What do high potential LGBT+ employees want from their employers? Are businesses delivering? And what more could organisations do to enable LGBT+ talent to succeed? The report also offers five suggestions on how businesses can turn equality into a global reality.

“Diverse stories matter – they’re a crucial part of our audience appeal…the diversity of our programming aligns with our people agenda by encouraging a diverse array of talent to come to Time Warner, and want to stay and prosper”
– Jeff Bewkes, Chairman and CEO, Time Warner

About the research: PwC and Out Leadership conducted a global survey of 231 high-potential LGBT+ employees and 28 corporate leaders from Out Leadership member organisations over the time period of December 2017 to March 2018.

Yankee Cruising Club

gay bostonDid you know that the Yankee Cruising Club was founded in 1983 with the intention to bring LGBTQ boaters together to meet, make friends and most importantly get out on the water?

Yankee Cruising Club’s next event is this Sunday, May 19th at the Volvo Ocean Race Stopover in Newport, Rhode Island. If this sounds interesting, click here to visit their event page to learn more.

The social group plans events year round but now that the weather is finally warming up, look for more social programming designed to get out on the water. You can learn more about the group by checking them out online at meetup.com/Yankee-Cruising-Club or on Facebook at Yankee Cruising Club

Boston’s LGBTQ swim club: LANES

SwimmerEach Tuesday I feature a different LGBTQ club or organization to help connect gay men living in the Boston area. One such group you may not know about is Boston’s great swimming club, LANES – Liquid Assets New England Swimming.

LANES swims year round so you can join at anytime and with five practices scheduled each week (three during the week and two on the weekends) you are sure to find a time that will work for you. Everyone is welcome to join. LANES has everyone from former collegiate swimmers to those who are swimming to stay in shape – and of course the social aspect, which you can learn more about by visiting them online and joining them at one of their upcoming practices.Brian Moynihan, William Lawson, LANES, Liquid Assets New England Swimming, gay boston

For more information visit LANES online at swim-lanes.org or on Facebook at Liquid Assets New England Swimming.
