Overview
- An Ifop poll for L’autre cercle of 10,185 workers, including 942 LGBT+ respondents, found 36% of LGBT+ employees reported at least one aggression at work, up eight points from 2024.
- Reported discrimination by company management reached 37% among LGBT+ staff, a jump of 12 points in the latest survey.
- Across the wider workforce, 31% said they would feel uncomfortable if a colleague came out, which is six points higher than in the prior reading.
- Visibility has grown, with 72% of LGBT+ employees not hiding their orientation at work, yet many describe social isolation or skip benefits like adding a partner to health insurance or taking marriage leave.
- The association says sexist and masculinist rhetoric is seeping into offices, which it argues employers can counter by setting clear rules that discourage hostile behavior.
