Businesses are struggling to
RETAIN and Motivate Gen-Z!
With over a quarter of the Gen-Z population identifying within the LGBTQIA+ community, we're well equipped to guide you through the change required to attract, retain, and motivate the newest generation of your workforce.
We asked a room of 50 LGBTQIA+ university students to raise their hands if they would feel safe being open about their identity once they start work.
Not a single student did.
How We Can Help You
Since 2019, Blossom LGBT has been dedicated to providing hands-on support for LGBTQIA+ young adults aged 16 to 30. Our mission extends beyond assistance; we guide them through every facet of their transition into adulthood, including their first and subsequent employment experiences. This unique vantage point grants us invaluable insights into their specific needs. Gen-Zers are navigating career paths with remarkable agility. However, the statistics reveal a concerning trend: on average, they leave jobs within a mere 12 months. For LGBTQIA+ Gen-Z individuals, this tenure is even shorter—just 6 months. The rapid turnover rate is felt across businesses nationwide, and it’s creating a palpable skills gap. Employers are awakening to the reality that swift departures have negative impacts on their bottom line.
At Blossom LGBT, we don’t rely on guesswork or political ideology to create business guidance. Instead, we anchor our guidance in rigorous research and real-world results. Annually, we collaborate closely with our service users and multiple reputable research institutes to paint a clear picture of what truly works. Our approach is grounded in science, informed by market research, and geared toward tangible business outcomes. Our goal is to create systemic change in the workplace that builds a skilled workforce for your business and sustainable and healthy careers for our young adults.

Worried About The D&I Wild West?

But here’s where Blossom LGBT stands out: We’re not just in it for the fancy horse!
We’re fully insured so you can trust our guidance. Moreover, our team receives ongoing training on relevant equalities law, and we keep a close eye on case law developments to ensure we’re always on the cutting edge.

Focusing on establishing your business as an employer of choice.

You can use your systems, or we can introduce our own. Either way, rest assured that every step is purposeful, measurable, and results-drive

All of our ‘ready to go’ guidance is about going above your statutory requirements meaning we seldom require legal assurance, that being said, we work annually with third party legal experts to check our guidance and knowledge levels. We may also engage these experts if we’re building bespoke guidance for you. We regularly cross check any guidance with the Equality Act 2010 and any other relevant legislation such as GDPR. Our consultants have clear training on these legislations and are expected to demonstrate a detailed knowledge.
We’ll work with whoever you feel is best placed to carry this work forwards. This might included, but isn’t limited to, a senior leader, HR manager, D&I professional, LGBT ERG lead, or chief of staff.

We get it, the last few years trans inclusion has been a bit of a political lightening rod. The reality is, we’re not trying to remove anyone else’s workplace rights. Blossom is focused on exploring the experiences of your employees and our service users and finding a harmonious balance. We’ll create guidance and policies alongside you that advocate for the inclusion of employees from every demographic. In turn, ensuring trans people are dignified at work and no one feels left behind on your journey to becoming an inclusive employer.
That’s fine! Our number one aim is to work with you to achieve outcomes that work for your business. We would always prefer you to tell us no and return to the drawing board instead of implementing something that just isn’t right for your workplace.
