A YORK university has secured its place as one of the UK’s most inclusive workplaces for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual staff according to LGBT rights charity Stonewall.
The Stonewall list of Top 100 Employers celebrates the pioneering efforts of leading organisations to create inclusive workplaces and York St John University has again scored highly amidst increasing competition.
Vice Chancellor professor Karen Stanton, a signatory to Stonewall’s #NoBystanders pledge said:
“We pride ourselves on continually developing an inclusive culture for all at York St John University and I am delighted that direct feedback from our staff clearly demonstrates the University’s commitment to LGBT equality in the workplace.
“To be one of the Top 100 Employers in Stonewall’s prestigious list is a wonderful achievement for our whole University community.”
Now in its thirteenth year, Stonewall’s Workplace Equality Index (WEI) is a powerful benchmarking tool used by employers to help ensure all LGBT employees can be themselves in the workplace.
