Empowering 2SLGBTQIA+ Workers in Energy is a result of community-led research aiming to translate worker testimony into actionable steps to advance 2SLGBTQIA+ rights and inclusion that employers in the energy sector can implement on the frontline – not just in the corporate office. This research is part of a larger project funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada and will be accompanied by a practical toolkit that can be used in workplaces across the sector to cultivate safer and more inclusive environments for 2SLGBTQIA+ workers.
Through collaboration with experts in the sector and community-serving organizations, this guide is informed by the realities of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals working on the frontlines of the Canadian energy sector. This guide is intended for company executives; human resources professionals; diversity, equity, and inclusion professionals; union representatives; people managers; site supervisors; and employee resource group leaders across Canada’s energy sector to better understand and address these difficult realities.
