Cultivating a Trans-Inclusive Workplace
Trans people are increasingly visible yet face significant challenges in almost all aspects of life, including the workplace. 63% of trans people report being discriminated against because of their gender identity, while 49% report being asked unnecessary or invasive questions at work (KFF / The Washington Post).
Through education, compassion, and intentionality, you can build a more inclusive and equitable workplace for trans people. In this session, you’ll learn a variety of practices you can implement to help trans coworkers, customers, and other stakeholders feel like they belong in your organization.
Learning Objectives
- Learn about the rich complexity of gender identities, including terms such as transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, genderfluid, and agender
- Identify challenges that trans people experience in the workplace
- Discover interventions and trans-inclusive language practices that can help create a more equitable and inclusive experience for trans people in the workplace
