Importance of Inclusion in the Workplace

Creating an inclusive workplace environment is essential for employee engagement and retention. Research shows that diverse teams lead to better decision-making and performance. Including non-monogamous individuals in workplace policies and protections is crucial for fostering authenticity, belonging, and a sense of safety. With 41% of Americans between 30 and 44 describing their relationships as non-monogamous, it's important for companies to address this growing demographic. By implementing non-discrimination language in employee handbooks and job postings, companies can promote inclusivity and attract and retain a diverse talent pool. This shift parallels the past efforts to protect LGBTQ+ individuals in the workplace.
