Building an inclusive workplace: our experience of using benchmarking tools to support change

Building an inclusive workplace: our experience of using benchmarking tools to support change Back in 2019, a small group of colleagues – from the LGBT+ community and allies – came together to start The King’s Fund’s work on LGBT+ Equality. At the time, there was no outward sign that the Fund was LGBT friendly – no staff network or mentions in the diversity and inclusion (D&I) priorities or on the intranet, queer staff often quiet about their relationships or identity. Through starting to have more open conversations we found some of our queer colleagues, and started to build our network.
