Banks and police among most gay-friendly employers [UK]

The police service, banks and management consultants top the league table of gay-friendly employers in Britain...according to the latest workplace equality index...[T]he index from campaigning group Stonewall tracks the impact of workplace culture on gay, lesbian and bisexual employees…Organisations…are examined on the success of their diversity policies and the extent to which they encourage job applications from lesbian and gay workers. Stonewall also surveys gay employees on whether their workplace experiences match up to the claims made by employers…[T]he index also notes those sectors such as media, retail, construction…that consistently fail to make the grade.
