Gender Identity/Expression Diversity in the Workplace
Gender Identity/Expression Diversity in the Workplace
Audience: Corporate Executives, Managers, Human Resource Professions and Employees Description: These workshops can be tailored specifically to meet the needs of your business environment. We have done workshops from 1 hour to 4 hours. It can be structured as part of an all day Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender (LGBT) workshop or a stand-alone module. Our Diversity Training Program breaks down barriers between transgender and non-transgender people, by providing essential information for human resources professionals and coworkers who work with employees in transition and encourages participants to reflect on how gender roles in society affect their own experiences in the workplace. This Diversity Training Programs Achieve Three Goals:
·Awareness:Through a series of interactive exercises and educational materials, participants examine the ways common beliefs and stereotypes influence their views of transgender people, learn definitions and information about transgender terminology and reflect on personal stories about affirmative and negative experiences as a result of transgender identification. All components are conducted within the context of workplace issues. ·Assessment:Trainers lead participants through an assessment of the current environment for transgender employees (or employees who have family members or friends who self-identify as transgender), how this environment affects productivity and employee retention and the need for support systems for employees who transition. ·Action Plan:The workshop concludes with the development of an action plan for making changes (or affirming positive steps already in place) to create a more comfortable, productive and profitable environment for all employees.
