Lior Bakalo reports that the annual LGBTWORK index awarded inclusion certification to 24 Israeli companies in 2026, a record high, with Platinum-level honorees including Natural Intelligence, Monday.com, and Playtika. The report notes that one in three LGBT employees still conceals their identity at work.
Business journalist Lior Bakalo reported on the 2026 LGBTWORK index, which measures workplace inclusion for LGBT employees in Israel. A record 24 companies received the certification this year, surpassing previous years. The highest Platinum rank was awarded to Natural Intelligence, Monday.com, and Playtika, among others. Despite the progress, the report highlights a persistent gap: one in three LGBT workers in Israel still does not feel safe enough to disclose their identity at work. The data comes from an annual survey by LGBTWORK and reflects a growing but incomplete trend toward workplace equality.
