Non-office Environments LGBT employees in non-office environments tend to be exposed more often to hostile, harassing climates. Seven in 10 LGBT employees in non-office locations (69 percent) hear anti-LGBT jokes or derogatory comments at least once in a while — compared to 59 percent in office environments. And 38 percent hear these comments frequently or sometimes, compared to 26 percent of those in office workspaces. Additionally, 72 percent of those in nonoffice environments hear jokes and comments at least once in a while about other minority groups, compared to 60 percent of employees in offices.
