Common Ground is working and continues to work with several organizations to deliver workplace education and seminars on these subjects. Their efforts have led to domestic partner benefits' implementation at such companies as Milipore and Banyan, and to educational initiatives in organizations nationwide including the Internal Revenue Service. They continually speak on these issues to professional organizations around the country, and provide research and support materials to organizations worldwide. Further, the principals of Common Ground are authors of a book, the working title of which is "Out in the Open" which itself deals with workplace sexual orientation issues, benefits and AIDS education. This book will be released by AMACOM in the Fall of 1995. Common Ground welcomes inquiries from organizations of all kinds. We are particularly interested in working with human resources, benefit and compensation professionals, as well as with representatives of employee groups or individual employees who would like to see their employer investigate/implement these types of policies and programs.
