Gay Marriage - Yes or No?
Not everybody wants to get married. I have spoken to friends and associates, and have received very different answers about whether they would get married or not. Most seem to favour not marrying. However, this doesn't mean 'we' don't want to not be able to marry if we chose to.
I have been having a big clean out of my office and it was interesting that I came across a number of articles on gay marriage, from 2006, showing that one in two Australians support gay civil unions. This was at the time when the Federal Government reversed the decision of the ACT government to allow gay civil unions.
Don't Neglect Your Networks
In a recent Australian Financial Review there was an article about the "The Power of Number Two", describing how to be a great second in command.
"Not so keen on footy or holding up the bar? Women and some men take note. Networks are key to scoring the best executive jobs. Women, especially working mothers, can be at a disadvantage because they often don't have the time to forge the strong business networks men do, bonding regularly around sport and beer."
Sexuality & Diversity in the Workplace
This is an independent survey focused on ascertaining if there are any direct and indirect discrimination faced amongst GLBTQ workers on being OUT at work. Evidence will cover diversity in the workplace, what training and policies are in place and how do we compare to our overseas "out" workplaces.
