Abstract
Research shows that LGBTQI-people have more health issues compared to other groups, and that the place of work can act as a protective factor against mental illness. This study examines how managers describe their experience of working with active measures to promote the health of LBGTQI individuals in the workplace. The purpose of the study was to generate knowledge that can help managers in their work with active measures to promote the health and well-being of coworkers who are LGBTQI. In this qualitative study eight managers were interviewed in semi-structured interviews. The interviews were analyzed with reflexive thematic analysis and two themes were identified: The manager and active measures - the spider in the web, or? and Being... (More)

The purpose of the study was to generate knowledge that can help managers in their work with active measures to promote the health and well-being of coworkers who are LGBTQI. In this qualitative study eight managers were interviewed in semi-structured interviews. The interviews were analyzed with reflexive thematic analysis and two themes were identified: The manager and active measures - the spider in the web, or? and Being LGBTQI is not a problem - at least not in our workplace. The results show that managers are unsure of what active measures are, while at the same time they talk about several active measures that are implemented in the workplace. The results also show that managers don’t see LBGTQI individuals as particularly vulnerable in their workplaces. The study underlines the importance of an active, ongoing work with active measures, against discrimination, and highlights the complexity of this structural but at the same time interpersonal work.

Abstract (Swedish)
Forskning visar att hbtqi-personer har sämre hälsa än andra grupper, och att
arbetsplatsen kan fungera som en skyddande faktor mot psykisk ohälsa. Denna
studie undersöker hur chefer beskriver sina erfarenheter av att arbeta med
aktiva åtgärder för att främja hbtqi-personers hälsa på arbetsplatsen, med syftet
att generera kunskap som kan hjälpa chefer i deras arbete med att främja just
detta. I denna kvalitativa studie intervjuades åtta personer i chefsroll i
semistrukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuerna analyserades med hjälp av reflexiv
tematisk analys och två huvudteman identifierades: Chefen och aktiva åtgärder
– spindeln i nätet, eller? och Att vara hbtqi är inte ett problem – åtminstone
inte på vår arbetsplats. Resultatet visar... (More)

tematisk analys och två huvudteman identifierades: Chefen och aktiva åtgärder
– spindeln i nätet, eller? och Att vara hbtqi är inte ett problem – åtminstone
inte på vår arbetsplats. Resultatet visar att cheferna är osäkra på vad aktiva
åtgärder är, samtidigt som de berättar om flera aktiva åtgärder som görs på
arbetsplatsen. Resultatet visar också att cheferna inte ser hbtqi-personer som
extra utsatta på sina respektive arbetsplatser. Studien understryker vikten av ett
aktivt, fortlöpande arbete med aktiva åtgärder, mot diskriminering, och belyser
komplexiteten i detta strukturella men samtidigt interpersonella arbete. (Less)
