3 1 Executive Summary In today s global economy, employers understand that Talent is a company s most precious resource and Talent management has become one of the hottest topics in HR. As the world recovers from the deepest recession in generations, organizations are looking to new and emerging markets to drive growth. However, skills shortages in various parts of the world threaten to stifle economic recovery. The mobilization of talent and Diversity and Inclusion strategies are seen as a key way of plugging skills gaps and achieving business goals. At the same time, a willingness to work abroad has become the new normal and employees may find better career opportunities await abroad. However, while most organizations understand and advocate the importance of having a diverse workforce and inclusive workplace culture and more and more organizations value international experience and promote working overseas, achieving a diverse and globally mobile workforce can be extremely difficult and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) employees in particular face specific challenges not experienced by other groups. Over the past several weeks (September and October 2014), Mercer has been examining the challenges and considerations of LGBT Global Mobility and conducted a pulse survey on organizations approaches. 83 companies participated in the North America LGBT Global Mobility Pulse Survey and below is a summary of the findings as well as the survey results. Fewer than half of organizations (48%) have a global Diversity & Inclusion policy that makes specific reference to LGBT employees The vast majority of organizations (93%) do not track their employees sexual orientation and only 52% track their employees gender 54% of respondents have LGBT employees working internationally for their organizations 56% of organizations cited compliance (legal, immigration, tax etc.) issues as the main barrier to LGBT mobility o 28% believed family/dual career issues were the main barrier, 23% cited safety/security and 23% thought there were no barriers to LGBT Mobility. Just 9%of respondents are flexible with the assignment type and only 7% would offer an assignment to an alternative (LGBT friendly) location 61% of organizations are not aware of the local cultural and legal conditions for LGBT employees in all the locations in which they operate 42% of respondents offer cultural training and a legal briefing to mitigate the risks to their LGBT employees However, 73% of the cultural training/security briefings offered to internationally mobile employees do not include information regarding LGBT issues/considerations 91% of respondents do not prevent their LGBT employees from travelling to LGBT unfriendly locations 64% of organizations do not offer training to managers on LGBT issues MERCER 2
