Description: Ten Ways to Empower Your LGBTQ+ Corporate Expats and Their Families to Thrive Abroad

In this session, Jess presented both qualitative and quantitative data on the experiences of queer corporate expats, highlighting the most common challenges faced by this specific group within the corporate expat workforce. Key areas of focus included safety and security concerns, the importance of community, and the lack of explicit coverage in corporate policies and communication channels to address these issues.

After making a compelling case for improvement, Jess outlined the top ten strategies to enhance the lives of queer corporate expats. Among these, five quick wins were identified that organizations could implement immediately to foster a more inclusive and supportive environment. Attendees left with actionable insights on how to create meaningful change and better support queer employees during their international assignments.
