Abstract

This article addresses the complex issue of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data collection in workplaces, highlighting the intricate balance between fostering inclusion and mitigating potential harm and exclusion.1 This tension manifests uniquely across diverse cultural, legal, and organizational settings. We review existing literature, offer practical guidance for decision-makers, and outline future research avenues. While SOGI data collection in workplaces can enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and elevate the visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer (LGBTIQ+) employees, challenges include the risk of discrimination, privacy concerns, and linguistic complexities. To address these, researchers and practitioners must consider the purpose, language, and cultural context of data collection, involving LGBTIQ+ stakeholders, and conducting reconnaissance studies. Future research opportunities lie in understanding employee willingness to share SOGI data, motivations of human resource (HR) and DEI professionals, and the impact on organizational culture. Reimagining LGBTIQ+ research to ease the tension between inclusion and protection, we conclude that responsible SOGI data collection demands a nuanced approach that prioritizes inclusion and equity while addressing privacy concerns and potential harm.

矛盾中的包容与保护:关于在工作场所收集性取向和性别认同数据的思考
本文探讨了在工作场所收集性取向和性别认同(SOGI)数据这一复杂问题,强调了促进包容与减少潜在伤害和排斥之间错综复杂的平衡。这种矛盾在不同的文化、法律和组织环境中表现得各不相同。我们回顾了现有文献,为决策者提供了实用指导,并概述了未来的研究方向。虽然在工作场所收集 SOGI 数据可以增强多样性、公平性和包容性(DEI)措施,提高女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人、双性人和同性恋(LGBTIQ+)员工的能见度,但也面临着歧视风险、隐私问题和语言复杂性等挑战。要解决这些问题,研究人员和从业人员必须考虑数据收集的目的、语言和文化背景,让 LGBTIQ+ 利益相关者参与进来,并开展勘察研究。未来的研究机会在于了解员工共享性别平等数据的意愿、人力资源(HR)和发展信息(DEI)专业人员的动机以及对组织文化的影响。通过重新构想 LGBTIQ+ 研究以缓解包容与保护之间的矛盾,我们得出结论:负责任的 SOGI 数据收集需要一种细致入微的方法,在解决隐私问题和潜在危害的同时,优先考虑包容与公平。
