TESTIMONIALS

Magda was our guest speaker at our 2023 Coming Out Day event in October, the central theme of which was ‘Creating an inclusive workplace’. It was a real pleasure to have her with us and hear her valuable insights into how we can make our workplace more inclusive for our transgender colleagues and create safe spaces for everyone. Thank you, Magda, for sharing your personal story and experiences with us and inspiring us to do better every day!

Alison Coyard, Administrative manager, European Parliament

Magda was a guest speaker during one of the Pride events organised by the Spectrum Employee Resource Group. Her amazing energy and openness to share her journey and story is truly inspiring. She had a great approach when giving the presentation on supporting trans employees in the workplace in English, was open to questions and did a wonderful job at explaining the obstacles one might face when transitioning. She has an ease at making human connections and finds great ways of explaining trans issues for people with very little background in the subject.

Magda was an invited speaker at a FLINTA* Panel hosted by Zalando for Berlin Pride Month 2023. Magda was a true professional during the organisation process, offering her insights and valuable experience when deciding on the topics we would discuss at the event. During the panel itself Magda was very generous to share with the large audience her personal experiences and learnings which she delivered in a very clear and engaging manner. During the networking after Magda chatted with many people and even started the dancing to our live DJ! THANK YOU again Magda for your contribution and being YOU, I hope we can collaborate again in the future!

Helen Collins, Senior Merchandise Planning Manager, Zalando SE

I met Magda when she gave a speach @Stuart focused on how we as cis people can be better allies for our transgender folks at the workplace. It was not only very informative and engaging but also helped me understand how world looks like through Magda’s lens. After that, Magda agreed to meet with me and record a short follow-up answering the questions we did not have time to address during her main speach so we could share it with the rest of the company. As a member of LGBTQ+ community I found working with her eye opening in many areas. I’m so excited to see where she will get next! I can recommend working with Magda and inviting her to your company if you wish to raise awareness on various queer topics and how we can all work to make tomorrow better than today ✨

The Changing Face of Workplace Diversity: Understanding Gen Z LGBTQ+ Talent

Recent data from The Trevor Project reveals a significant shift in the LGBTQ+ workforce landscape: 48% of LGBTQ+ youth identify as transgender or non-binary. This statistic has profound implications for organizations and their talent attraction strategies.

Why This Matters?

  • Gen Z is entering the workforce in growing numbers, bringing with them diverse gender identities and expectations for inclusive workplaces.
  • Traditional approaches to LGBTQ+ inclusion may not fully address the needs of transgender and non-binary employees.
  • Companies that adapt to this changing demographic will have a competitive edge in attracting and retaining top talent.

Beyond Acceptance: The Need for Understanding and Integration

For organizations looking to attract and retain Gen Z LGBTQ+ talent, particularly transgender and non-binary individuals, mere acceptance is no longer sufficient. 

Companies must:

  • Develop a deep understanding of diverse gender identities and expressions
  • Implement policies and practices that actively support transgender and non-binary employees
  • Create a culture of inclusion that goes beyond tolerance to celebration of gender diversity
  • Provide training and education for all employees to foster a truly inclusive environment
  • Regularly assess and update practices to ensure they meet the evolving needs of LGBTQ+ employees

By taking these steps, organizations can create workplaces where all employees, regardless of gender identity, can thrive and contribute their full potential.


As a keynote speaker and DEI expert, Magda Stęga can help your organization navigate this evolving landscape, providing insights and strategies to create truly inclusive workplaces that attract and retain diverse talent.
