According to a survey conducted in November 2019 about diversity in the workplace, around 73 percent of Japanese respondents felt that their company should make an effort to create an LGBT-friendly work environment. Approximately 26 percent of responding companies stated not to feel obliged to do so.
The acronym LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender and has been used since the 1990s. It is an umbrella term for individuals identifying as non-heterosexual or non-cisgender, with the latter meaning that the individual's gender identity does not match their sex assigned at birth.
