LGBT+ professionals are keen to work abroad but discriminatory laws and culture are the biggest reason for refusing foreign assignments.
69% of LGBT+ professionals cited discriminatory laws related to LGBT+ people as a reason for rejecting a potential international assignment.
That is ahead of other practical concerns like healthcare and insurance. That’s according to a new report from corporate consortium Open For Business that promotes LGBT+ inclusion in mostly multinational companies.
Meanwhile the research found that LGBT+ staff who agree to work abroad want ‘local knowledge’ about the challenges they will face.
