DIVERSITY
IA : So I think the difficulty in your question is the , ‘ as a whole ’ bit . There are certain sectors of the economy that are doing pretty trailblazing work . I ' ve come across a bank that has an amazing policy to support trans people , a major telecoms company , too , where they will step in with their private healthcare support at the point of medical transition . I ' ve seen amazing examples where companies are trying to bring together the LGBTQ vote and allies .
The really important bit is to ensure this is not just happening at head office . We will hopefully soon meet much more in person , in a series of roundtables with various parts of the economy , just to find out where people are because I just don ' t think the ‘ as a whole ’ point is necessarily what ' s happening out there . I think different parts of the economy are going at very different speeds on this .
