LGBT+ Discrimination in the Workplace Survey

At the STUC, we know that LGBT+ discrimination takes place in the workplace, and that it can take many different forms. We want to dig a bit deeper and hear more about LGBT+ workers’ experiences, good and bad, in the workplace. This will allow the STUC’s LGBT+ Committee to best focus our campaigning on the biggest priorities.
If you are an LGBT+ worker, please complete this short survey and share with friends and colleagues via social media and email.
The Survey will close on Friday 22 March 2024.
