Default LGBT+ pay gap of 16% revealed despite corporate embrace of Pride



LGBT+ staff face pay discrimination in the UK, according to a new survey.

LinkedIn and UK Black Pride found that LGBT+ workers in the UK earn on average £6,703 less than straight colleagues.

The shortfall is equivalent to a pay gap of 16% — almost double the UK pay gap between men and women of 9.6%.

“Although we have seen progress in the workplace for LGBT+ people, it is clear that there are still substantial issues which can make it difficult for individuals to thrive professionally as their authentic selves,” Suki Sandhu OBE, CEO and founder of includisivity campaign group INvolve, said in a statement.

“LGBT+ people are at all levels of a business, whether they’re out or not, so it’s crucial to have inclusive environments.”

The research found the pay gap was slightly less for transgender staff but still stood at 14%, or £5,340 on average.

The data was based on a YouGov survey of 4,000 people who identified as being straight, gay, bisexual or other.

The research, released to coincide with Pride month, found that 65% of people believe their workplace is doing enough to support LGBT+ colleagues. However, 44% of transgender staff said that their employers should be doing more to promote inclusive workplaces.

“While a significant number of UK workers feel that their employer is supportive and inclusive of LGBT+ colleagues, our research shows there is still a long way to go,” Joshua Graff, UK Country Manager at LinkedIn, said in a statement.

“It is important that businesses build on the steps that many have already taken to create more inclusive environments – places where people can bring their true, authentic selves to work.”
