As Professor of LGBTIQ+ Workplace Inclusion at Leiden University, Jojanneke van der Toorn works closely with Workplace Pride to bridge academic research and organizational practice. Her latest work offers critical reflections on how organisations can create more inclusive, equitable, and psychologically safe environments for LGBTIQ+ employees worldwide.
Highlights Include:
- Reflections on SOGI Data Collection: New research highlights that employees are more willing to share personal identity data when trust, transparency, and anonymity are prioritized.
- More Biased, Yet More Informed? Findings on how perceptions of bias and expertise shift depending on whether researchers belong to marginalized groups.
- Staying the Course in a Shifting DEI Landscape: Insights from the Workplace Pride Conference on why keeping identity central in DEI strategies is essential for lasting impact.
- Upcoming Event: The 2025 LGBTIQ+ Workplace Inclusion Symposium at Leiden University will gather global researchers and practitioners to explore the latest evidence-based strategies.
Through her work, Jojanneke continues to advance evidence-based guidance for HR and DEI teams while elevating employee experiences, trust, and belonging.
