Almost two-thirds of LGBT+ workers in the UK claim they will quit their jobs within three years because their employer is not committed to diversity in the workplace, according to a study by Boston Consulting Group. This contrasts with an equivalent figure of 43% for straight white men.

LGBT+ role models in leadership positions were cited as one of the solutions to employee discontent.
