Recent Anti LGBTQ+ Laws: Managers Should Adapt Policies

Abstract

Recent law has placed management in a conundrum concerning LGBTQ+ employee civil rights. Established law has protected those employees from discrimination. Many employers have led the way to that end. Yet certain federal and state legal efforts now seek to roll back rights, expose liability, and loss to employers that continued to protect them. Management can honor both its obligations to employees and to the firm, by carefully redesigning policies and practices to avoid triggering concerns while still protecting the civil rights of all employees that the law has established.
