社商賢匯即將就同／雙性戀及跨性別議題發表突破性研究報告。由巴克萊銀行贊助的香港同／雙性戀及跨性別狀況研究2011-12是香港第一項同類型的研究， 旨在推進香港對此重要議題的討論。
概况
香港對同／雙性戀及跨性別人士及他她們面對的挑戰的認識很小。很多人仍然視性傾向和性別認同為敏感的議題，很少就性傾向和性別認同作公開討論。這情況亦在職場出現，同／雙性戀及跨性別雇員的利益和需要都被忽視。很多企業並不明白為同／雙性戀及跨性別雇員創造共融工作間的商業理據。
此研究旨在推進香港對此重要議題的討論。此研究分成兩部分，探討大眾對同／雙性戀及跨性別人士的態度和同／雙性戀及跨性別雇員的經驗，為同／雙性戀及跨性別人士在社會及職場上面對的情況和挑戰提供最新概況，並突顯香港企業面對的挑戰和商機。
