Raising LGBTQ+ Standards in Your Workplace
Inclusion Index Benchmarking Tool (iiBT)
LGBT Great provides members with business-to-business networking to improve LGBTQ+ DE&I through the Inclusion Index Benchmarking Tool (iiBT). The iiBT is an industry-focused tool that enables members to see where they are on their LGBTQ+ journey. LGBT Great provides guidance on how to complete the iiBT, supports on working through the ten indicators, and a post-completion consultation. This enables members to prioritise efforts accordingly to achieve the highest possible standards.
The iiBT is recognised industry-wide as a demonstrator of LGBTQ+ standards. Completion of the iiBT is regularly itemised in requests for proposals as part of the due diligence process prior to asset allocation. Our extensive network of members is able to self-assess data scores and evidence organisational commitment towards LGBTQ+ issues. The iiBT encourages the collection of best practice case studies, which are then leveraged to shine a light on positive actions taking place across member firms.
Strive for a Gold, Silver or Bronze Standard
The LGBT Great Standards are only awarded to organisations that complete the Inclusion Index Benchmarking Tracker (iiBT). Gold, Silver, and Bronze standards are awarded to participating organisations, which achieve the required standard of scores. Organisations who achieve a standard are granted exclusive use of an LGBT Great standards badge for a period of 12 months. LGBT Great then works to raise the profile of accredited organisations to shine a light and role model success all year round. Submissions for the 2024 iiBT framework close on the 30th of September 2024. We will announce those organisations awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze for the calendar year of 2025 from April 1st 2025.
"Participation in the iiBT framework enables L&G to see where we are succeeding and where further focus is needed, essential to us as we seek to improve workforce diversity and build a more inclusive workplace. Since completing the iiBT, LGBT Great has supported us in understanding how we compare to peers in the financial services industry and inspired our LGBTQ+Allies Network and others across L&G to drive positive change. The process of completing the framework has enabled us to affirm what is working well and empowered us to think ahead. The iiBT continues to be a valuable resource."
