University of Birmingham ranks among the top gay-friendly UK employers

The University of Birmingham has been ranked 79th overall in the definitive list of Britain's most gay-friendly workplaces. Birmingham's position in the Stonewall Top 100 Employers 2015 sees an impressive rise of 180 places from last year, reflecting the University's ongoing commitment to creating an inclusive workplace. Within the education sector, the University of Birmingham is ranked 9th in the UK. The Stonewall Top 100 Employers is compiled from submissions to Stonewall's annual Workplace Equality Index. The Index assesses employers' activities in a comprehensive survey of policy and practice; from promoting the visibility of senior lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) role models to guaranteeing access to benefits for same-sex partners and training employees on discrimination issues. Employers submit written responses to the criteria set by Stonewall, accompanied by supporting evidence. In addition to evidence submitted by employers, Stonewall seeks feedback directly from the entrants' LGB employees via a survey on workplace culture.
