"MI5, Baker McKenzie and Citi crowned as some of Britain's best LGBT-inclusive employers", 20 jan 2019

Businesses around the world are gradually waking up to the importance of inclusivity in today's workforce. While there's still a long way to go until equality is reached across all fronts — many companies are actively implementing initiatives to bring about positive change.

Pinsent Masons is a clear example, having been crowned as the U.K.'s top LGBT-inclusive employer in Stonewall's annual LGBT-inclusive employer list, which called the international law firm a "shining example" for how it ensures that "staff feel empowered and supported."...

Another law firm, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner was ranked second, followed by Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service.

The LGBT rights charity Stonewall compiled a list of the top 100 employers that embrace LGBT inclusion, after accumulating over 92,000 anonymous responses from U.K. employees on their experience in the workplace. The answers were gathered from submissions to Stonewall's Workplace Equality Index.

Other names in the top 10 came from various industries, including prominent names like MI5, Citi, Lloyds Banking Group and Baker McKenzie.
