Supporting Our Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Colleagues

From the recent ban on transgender troops to an absence of explicit federal anti-discrimination policies, transgender and gender non-conforming employees lack many legal workplace protections. In the face of these discriminatory policies, how can you ensure that your workplace is a safe, welcoming environment for your transgender and gender non-conforming colleagues?

Through this engaging webinar discover how to support applicants and employees of all gender identities and expressions. Review inclusive practices for your recruitment process, from your job posting language to on-campus visits. Receive an overview of best practices in policies, medical benefits, and supporting your employees' transitions. Ultimately, you’ll learn to cultivate a culture that encourages your colleagues to bring their full, authentic selves to work.
