The next generation of talent is redefining inclusion. BCG research shows Gen Z identifies as LGBTQ+ at higher rates than any previous generation, now 16% of the global workforce. This cohort brings greater intersectionality and more complex identities. This is a structural shift. Inclusion and allyship shape where people choose to work and stay. Younger LGBTQ+ employees are asking direct questions about safety, sponsorship, and understanding. Organizations that can answer clearly will compete more effectively for talent. At BCG, this reinforces a priority we see across leadership agendas. Inclusive cultures are central to workforce strategy. Pride Month is a moment to listen. The signal from Gen Z is already clear.
