Stonewall's Workplace Equality Index - Best Practice; "Top 25 in the Legal Sector" announced

Please join us on Wednesday, 20 February 2019 for one of the most popular monthly meetings of our LGBT+ Network, where we will be discussing Stonewall's 2020 Workplace Equality Index ("WEI"). Representatives from this year's high performers in the legal sector will be on hand to share best practice and provide guidance on how your organization can do better on next year's WEI. Applications for the 2020 WEI are due in September, so now is the time to start preparing!

We will also unveil the latest edition of the "Top 25 from the Legal Sector"for the WEI, co-branded with Stonewall and the InterLaw Diversity Forum. The InterLaw Diversity Forum collaborated with Stonewall nine years ago to innovate this first sector-specific list in the WEI (then called the "Top Ten in the Legal Sector"). This was intended to recognize those who might not appear in the Top 100 list, and to encourage greater participation in the WEI. Because of its success, it has been replicated by Stonewall for other sectors, as well. 

Stonewall's Workplace Equality Index is the definitive national benchmarking exercise showcasing Britain’s top employers for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender staff.

Since the InterLaw Diversity Forum's founding in 2008, we have seen the number of legal employers in the Top 100 grow from zero to sixteen, and have seen the legal sector's rating rise from second from the bottom to ranking first on the list for several years.

This improvement has been driven by our annual meetings, by intensive behind-the-scenes InterLaw assistance to legal employers in prepraring WEI submissions, by our co-branded sector list with Stonewall, and by InterLaw's previously published Guides to the WEI for the Legal Sector.

(See our 2019 WEI Guide HERE).

The InterLaw Diversity Forum has expanded beyond the legal sector and now assists corporates and financial institutions in preparing their WEI submissions.

Stonewall has stated: “A major part of the movement forward for the [legal] sector has been the InterLaw Diversity Forum. It helped provide a sector-specific focus."
