One such initiative is Ford Globe, which dates back to 1994, and came about as a result of two Ford employees raising various gay, lesbian and bisexual workplace issues with the Ford Motor Company leadership at its World Headquarters in Dearborn. Ford Gay, Lesbian or Bisexual Employees, or Ford Globe, was formally established in 1995 as an officially recognised employee resource group, which went online with an electronic bulletin board in July that year.
