Sexuality is arguably the most under-researched of all diversity
areas in work organizations. This book brings together and relates
stories of minority sexual identity from six organizations drawn
from three different industry sectors: the Emergency Services, the
Civil Service and the Banking sector.
Here sexual minorities freely recount stories of their own
workplace experiences. Three main themes emerge from the data:
silence, disclosure and response. Issues of voice and silence are
particularly pertinent for those who are not part of the dominant
heterosexual discourse; issues of disclosure are highly important
for sexual minorities for whom coming out is a major defining
moment; and, highly unusually, in this book readers get an insight
into how people respond to sexual minorities, as other employees'
reactions to stories are related too.
This book makes a significant contribution to our understanding
discursive construction of identity in the workplace, as
experienced by sexual minorities and
provides a snapshot of minority working lives at the beginning of
the 21st century.
This is an extremely well written, highly innovative, timely and
engaging book which as well as human resources management, it will
also be of interest to scholars in other areas such as sociology
and general business and management.
