We create a space for employers to discuss LGBTQ+ workplace equality

Whether you are an employee, HR manager or a company owner, we are here to help you. We ensure that the public and private sectors can work closely together on issues of LGBTQ+ workplace equality, and provide them with a unique opportunity to share direct experiences and best practice. Besides the annual Pride Business Forum conference, we organize smaller workshops or networking events.

Conferences and workshops

The annual Pride Business Forum conference is the biggest conference in the Czech Republic focusing on LGBTQ+ workplace equality. The conference has become the preferred place to network and share strategies and best practice that help to create inclusive workplaces for everyone. In addition, we also organize intensive workshops focusing on specific areas of LGBTQ+ workplace equality.

Awards

The LGBTQ+ Friendly Employer and Pride Business Forum Heroes Awards recognize individuals and organizations who lead the way in advancing equality for LGBTQ+ employees at their workplace.

Training

We use effective training methods to help managers and teams to find ways in which the company can support LGBTQ+ employees to come out, create a better work climate, deal with stereotypes and ensure a better output for the whole team. Training can be both offline and online.

Mentoring

We connect companies with more advanced policies and practices in the area of LGBTQ+ workplace equality and those just starting on this journey. Through mentoring, they can exchange best practice and information on how to effectively advance LGBTQ+ workplace equality.

Lektor: Děti by se o LGBTQ+ rozmanitosti měly dozvídat už od školky. Všichni máme předsudky

Nepřátelství, pokoření nebo ponížení. I s takovými pocity se mohou ve škole setkat neheterosexuální, trans a genderově rozmanité děti a dospívající. Vyplývá to z výzkumu Být LGBT+ v Česku od Národního ústavu duševního zdraví. „Školy nejsou izolovány od zbytku společnosti. Nejsou chráněny před celospolečenskou atmosférou nepřijetí,“ popisuje v podcastu Reparát Aleš Rumpel, manažer vzdělávání z organizace Prague Pride.

V Německu vznikl fond na podporu LGBTQ+ podnikatelů. Je první svého druhu v Evropě

Přibližně 15 % evropských startupů je vedeno lidmi z LGBTQ+ komunity, kteří však často narážejí na překážky při získávání kapitálu, což zahrnuje otevřenou diskriminaci na základě jejich sexuální orientace, jež vede k omezenému přístupu k financování jejich podnikání. Významným krokem vpřed je berlínský investiční fond identity.vc, který se zaměřuje na podporu LGBTQ+ podnikatelů, čímž se stává prvním svého druhu v Evropě. Fond se snaží nejen poskytovat potřebný kapitál, ale také inspirovat další generaci LGBTQ+ inovátorů a zlepšit celkovou inkluzivitu evropského startupového ekosystému.
