"National Coming Out Day" is celebrated internationally on October 11. To coincide with this important day, IE Out & Allies and myGwork have organized the third edition of "Welcome Talent!". This edition will focus on attracting young LGBTQ+ talent as well as sharing leading research on diversity and inclusion and best practices from D&I experts and myGwork corporate partners.

Key Facts:

- Gen Z are the most diverse generation in relation to their sexual orientation according to Ipsos research.

- With an increase in the percentage of people who identify as LGBTQ+ within generation Z, the talent pool they represent also increase, accounting for 1/5th of the total talent.

- In 2030, millennials and Generation Z will account for a vast majority of the global workforce.

- According to recent studies, allies, people who are supporters of the community but do not define themselves as LGBTQ+, record a preference to work in companies with good D&I practices.
