Course Description:
Today's top businesses understand that Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) in the workplace is essential to attracting and retaining top talent (the 'Best of the Best') and having a strong Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) Plan/Strategy is critical to the organizations’ overall bottom-line and success. Join us and learn how to create, enhance, grow and cultivate your organization's diversity initiative by creating a strong, effective and winning culture.
Session 4: Introduction to Gender Identity: Attendees will learn how understanding the many different Gender Identities that are in today’s workplace, can assist them in creating a more welcoming, affirming and inclusive culture. During this session, attendees will learn what the key terms are for Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation along with many others, along with discovering what Pronouns are and how to use these correctly to ensure everyone is fairly represented in your organization. Discussion will take place on the key terms for LGBTQ+ and what you can do to ensure all persons feel affirmed, truly included and part of the organization. Attendees will take part in interactive open discussion - Table Exercise.
