  abstract     = {{Background and Aim <br/>According to Swedish law, employers should take active measures to promote equal opportunities and hinder discrimination. To understand how this can be done effectively, more research is needed. However, few studies in Sweden have explored the work experiences and needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) employees, which was the aim of the 3-year research project “Minority Stress at Work” (Funded by AFA Insurance).   <br/><br/>Methods and Material <br/>We explored the experiences of LGBTQ-employees both qualitatively (N=83) and quantitatively (N=1752). We also interviewed managers, HR-staff, and anti-discrimination experts (N=26) to understand how active measures can be implemented in practice. <br/><br/>Main results and Conclusions <br/>The project synthesis shows that LGBTQ-employees are more exposed to microaggressions, and incivility compared to heterosexual cisgender individuals, which has negative consequences for health and job satisfaction. Furthermore, knowledge about LGBTQ-individuals' working conditions varies greatly among managers and HR-staff, which influences how they perceive risks and barriers in the workplace. This, in turn, shapes the perception of what measures are considered reasonable. <br/><br/>Implications <br/>The results highlight challenges and opportunities in working with active measures to prevent incivility and microaggressions in workplaces and provide support for LGBTQ-employees.}},
