Building inclusive journeys should be a given in an increasingly global and inclusive workforce. Travel is a vital part of how organizations and their employees connect, grow, and do business. But for many professionals in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, corporate travel can present unique challenges—from navigating different cultural norms to ensuring personal safety and dignity on the road.
At Plus Travel Group, we believe corporate travel should be seamless, empowering, and safe for everyone. That’s why we proudly offer inclusive corporate travel management solutions designed specifically to support and affirm 2SLGBTQIA+ employees, executives, and partners travelling for business.
Understanding the 2SLGBTQIA+ Corporate Travel Experience
While travel is often thought of as routine, for 2SLGBTQIA+ professionals, it may come with added complexities:
- Concerns about safety or discrimination in destinations with anti-LGBTQ+ laws or cultural biases
- Navigating ID documents and booking systems that may not reflect an individual’s lived identity
- A lack of inclusive policies or travel partners in standard corporate travel programs
- Emotional fatigue or stress from constantly self-monitoring while traveling
These are very real challenges that can affect not only the traveller’s comfort but also their performance and engagement.
