Inclusive leadership isn't just a checkbox—it's a strategic business advantage. According to Slack’s "The State of Work 2023" survey, 82% of employees cite happiness and engagement as key drivers of productivity. This level of engagement thrives in a culture where employees feel accepted and have opportunities for growth. It’s time to take a data-driven approach to prove the significant benefits and positive impacts that fostering LGBTQ leadership can bring to an organization. Join PILOT’s Founder & CEO, Ben Brooks, to learn how investing in diversity and inclusion can drive innovation, employee engagement, and business success.
