LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion: Awareness, Etiquette, & Best Practices

Recorded On: 06/28/2023

Although efforts have been made in recent years to advance equality for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Queer, and other gender and sexual marginalized identities, there are still many instances where LGBTQ+ people find themselves excluded, unwelcome, and uncomfortable in the workplace. In fact, according to the Human Rights Campaign, close to 50% of LGBTQ+ employees still report hiding their sexual orientation at work due to hostility, bias, discrimination, and mistreatment in the workplace.

Join us for this interactive and information session where you will:

  • Become more familiar with current LGBTQ+ inclusive terminology, appropriate pronoun usage, and inclusive language tips.
  • Develop a greater understanding of the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ employees.
  • Learn the differences in the dimensions of biological sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
  • Explore strategies to create more diverse, welcoming, and inclusive workplaces.
  • Walk away with ready-to-implement ideas for bringing a DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) lens to your organization.

 This session/course/webinar is eligible for 1 clock hour towards CEM recertification.

IAEE webinars are free to members and available to non-members for $49.
