Abstract

What companies have begun to see over the past few years is the slow destruction of the metaphorical closet the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community has been confined to for the past century.  Now that the federal government has taken a proactive stance against discrimination in the workplace based on sexual orientation and gender identity, it will be up to health administrators to implement their own policies that will assist employees and management in being more receptive to the needs of their LGBT workers.  Here, you will find several procedures and strategies that can be put into practice by hospitals and clinics that make for a much more sensitive work environment. Combining these strategies into the culture of the workplace will increase productivity and decrease employee conflict and ostracizing among LGBT employees.
