Meritocracy as Foundation of Human Resource Practices Cognizant to the LGBT Community
Alan Y. Cabaluna, Ph.D.

Abstract:
LGBT has become the central problem of jobs due to the low social status and the position of the people engaged. Sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination happen because they are never considered to be part of policymaking. This can be seen in the practices of the HR. Obviously, this study sought to examine the need for meritocracy to be incorporated into the recruitment practices of HR in the field of pharmaceutical companies. In order to tackle the problem explicitly, the proponent made use of the mixed technique in three pharmaceutical companies. Specifically, three pharmaceutical companies have been chosen. There were twelve (12) total regional sales manager, business unit manager, national sales managers and district sales managers, who also carried out human resource roles primarily in the areas of recruitment and selection. Senior HR managers were provided with the chance to respond to the questionnaire. These managers have been chosen purposively on the grounds that they are deemed to be the very policy makers of their respective businesses. The proponent has chosen to use mixed-method to strike a balance with the results of this scholastic venture. Subsequently, despite modifications in social views, the interview revealed orthodox issues that persisted in distinct facets of society. Pharmaceutical companies have only shown that, until today, the LGBTQ+ sector has not yet been excluded from prejudicial treatment. Indeed, this prejudice has left an indelible mark on the reputation of this industry. Human rights initiatives seem to have treated this problem with deaf ears. Contemporary times may have brought about a variety of modifications throughout the manner we view life in particular. As a result, Meritocracy is one of the human resource procedures that can be implemented differently. In accordance with the request of this study, the debate must be conducted in a holistic manner. Policies need to be developed at the end of the day. These strategies will only be feasible if there is a greater policy which will lead to the development of these initiatives.
