Cover of Layla McCay: Breaking the Rainbow Ceiling (PDF)

A compelling look at the challenges facing LGBTQ+ professionals as they navigate their careers with advice from many senior figures who have smashed their own rainbow ceilings.There are currently only four LGBTQ+ CEOs across all Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 companies who are out at work, and just 0.8% of Fortune 500 board positions are filled by LGBTQ+ people. This deficit, occurring across sectors and around the world, reveals a diversity gap playing out in today’s workplace: LGBTQ+ people are less likely to reach the top jobs. But what is holding LGBTQ+ people back at work and what can be done?Breaking the Rainbow Ceiling explores the hidden differences that cause LGBTQ+ people to be underrepresented at the most senior levels of professional life. Combining data with personal insights from over 40 prominent LGBTQ+ trailblazers, from CEOs to Ambassadors, Layla Mc Cay reveals the challenges that LGBTQ+ people commonly encounter as they find their way in work environments, and provides the practical strategies that can help empower LGBTQ+ people to reach their full professional potential.The book explores how everyone from boards, CEOs, managers, HR professionals and colleagues, through to LGBTQ+ people navigating their own career paths can recognize and address the barriers, achieve their career goals, and build a more inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive and succeed.
