為香港金融服務業的女同志和雙性戀女性僱員創造共融職場, Denise Tse-Shang Tang, 鄧惟君, 陳詩琳, 林寶琪, 袁琦婷

CCRD Research Report

職場共融是香港企業社會責任(Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR)的重要一環。職場共融指出僱主需要尊重僱員之間的多樣性,肯定僱員對工作環境的不同貢獻,並提高員工的專業水準。多元的工作場所亦需要接納來自不同背景、膚色、種族、健康狀況、性傾向和性別認同的員工。綜觀香港商業各界,向來少有女性的高層代表。女同志和雙性戀女性更因為其性別和性傾向,在職場晉升中面臨「雙重隱形天花板」(double glass ceiling) 的阻礙。

透過嶺南大學創新及效益基金的資助,並與香港跨銀行同志論壇(The Hong Kong LGBT Interbank Forum)和Lesbians in Finance合作,鄧芝珊博士向正在香港金融和銀行業工作的女同志和雙性戀女性,進行了一項網絡問卷調查與兩次焦點小組訪談。研究旨在探討香港金融服務業當中,女同志和雙性戀女性所遇到的具體挑戰和障礙。

我們發現,只有37%的問卷調查受訪者曾經在職場「出櫃」,亦有23%向部分關係密切的同事「出櫃」。換言之,他們對於在職場「出櫃」一事仍然有重大顧慮。企業內的LGBT+員工亦面對「隱形天花板」的晉升問題,18%的調查受訪者同意、47%有點同意存在著這種限制。問及女同志和雙性戀女性是否比男同志更難在職場上「出櫃」時,32%受訪者同意、46%表示有點同意。27%的受訪者同意、39%表示有點同意「女同志和雙性戀女性難以獲得企業的晉升」。其他結果則顯示,女同志和雙性戀女性在企業環境中難被看見、缺乏指導機會、承受更大壓力和焦慮,且擔憂女同志和雙性戀女性的身份會令她們遭受質疑。相較於順性別的女性僱員,表現陽剛的員工亦明顯要面臨更嚴格的審查。故此,即使有關多元共融的討論,一直是改善香港企業工作環境的議程之一,但在提升女同志和雙性戀女性議題的意識方面,仍然存在不足之處。

CCRD Research Report

Workplace inclusion is a core component of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Hong Kong. Workplace inclusion points to the need for employers to recognize diversity among employees, to acknowledge their contributions to the work environment and to raise professional standards for the work force. Diversity within a workplace indicates inclusion of persons with different backgrounds as in racial, ethnic, sex, health status, sexual orientation and gender identity. Women are already less represented at senior levels across various business sectors in Hong Kong. Lesbians and bisexual women face a double glass ceiling in the workplace as a result of both their …
