Paul's top tips:

  • "Get all staff involved - they can lead in what they see are the LGBT issues in the workplace."
  • "Take a stand for things that are important for the business and for the wider community."
  • "Make sure you lead in LGBT organisations that develop issues in business across Northern Ireland."
