How to successfully be out at work

On this episode of Queer Money®, David and John are joined by LinkedIn’s career expert Andrew McCaskill. The discussion centers around a recent Forbes report stating that 60% of U.S. workers hide their true selves at work and a LinkedIn survey revealing only 35% of queer professionals feel safe being out at work. McCaskill provides insights into the complexities faced by LGBTQ+ employees, the importance of authenticity, and how companies can foster inclusive environments. He also shares strategies for queer professionals to navigate their careers, leverage professional networks, and identify inclusive workplaces. Listeners are encouraged to embrace their true selves and seek out supportive professional communities.
