Abstract

The research qualitatively explored the workplace experiences of LGBTQ+ employees in Ireland to inform HRM diversity policies and practices surrounding this talent group. Fourteen queer employees were interviewed using semi-structured interviews and the data were combined with existing literature on the LGBTQ+ workforce. The problem the research addressed is the lack of research on these experiences in general, the apparent complete lack of data concerning this subset of talent in the Irish context, and the subsequent deficit of information available at the disposal of HRM to adapt to changing social dynamics as a result. While Ireland has become more socially liberal and legislation has increased workplace equality, the narratives of the LGBTQ+ employees at the recipient end of diversity management is largely absent. These narratives are necessary to inform HRM approaches.
