One of the biggest barriers to inclusion is the fear of saying or doing the wrong thing, no more so than with Trans and Non-Binary people. In this open and authentic fireside chat, Joanne will take prepared and questions from the audience in a "no holds barred" conversation.
Q: How can businesses be more LGBTQIA+ inclusive? I was at a conference recently for Diversity and Inclusion Leaders where this very question was raised. Me, being the rebel I am, threw a lesser discussed question to the panel… Q: How can businesses be more trans inclusive? The two questions are subtly different. All subsets of the LGBTQIA+ community have different needs and require different approaches to inclusion. Inclusion of sexual orientation may look different than inclusion for gender identity.
This advanced level workshop program on transgender and nonbinary inclusion in the workplace offers a multi-phase approach, including listening circles, content review, personalised cohort sessions, and post-delivery evaluation, to create a more inclusive and supportive environment. Participants will gain knowledge, skills, and motivation to challenge biases, advocate for inclusive policies, and foster positive outcomes for transgender and nonbinary individuals.
