Purpose of research project
For my major research project as a part of the Masters of Human Resources Management program at York University, I would like to conduct a study of the LGBT community focusing on the disclosure of sexual orientation in the workplace. The study is intended to be interview-based, and I am looking to target Canadian business professionals / executives who are self-identified as LGBT and who have or have not disclosed their sexual orientation in the workplace.
How will this research help LGBT people and communities
This research will assess what is truly important to the individual in a Canadian organization when they are making their decision to disclose or not. I am particularly interested in discussing with you your interactions, your personal experiences and what influenced your decision to disclose or withhold your sexual orientation / identity in the workplace.
All information you supply during the research will be held in confidence; your name and all identifiers (including the name of the organization if provided) will not appear in any report or publication of the research.
Who can participate in this research project
Participants should be self-identified LGBT business professionals. The participants could either be individuals who have already disclosed their sexual orientation within their organization or individuals who have not.
