Read: Why the First Year Matters for LGBTQ+ Employees

LGBTQ+ employees who do not come out during their first 12 months at a workplace, are unlikely to do so at all, according to a new survey by Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

The report, titled Why the First Year Matters for LGBTQ+ Employees, highlights the findings of the Out@Work Barometer, a global survey of about 8,800 people in 19 countries. Overall, 70% of LGBTQ+ respondents said that they came out during the hiring process or within their first 12 months of starting their job. Just 10% came out after the first year; and the remaining 20% stayed closeted, underscoring how important it is for companies to create inclusive cultures from day one for all employees.
