LGBTQ+ Workplace Fundamentals

About this On Demand course:

Language is a powerful tool; it helps us understand others’ experiences and identity, communicate our own, share our stories, and connect deeply with those around us.
This session will cover terminology currently used today by and about the LGBTQ+ community. We’ll spend time exploring the definitions of terms as well as examining inclusive language to use in the workplace. We’ll review hot-off-the-press data and resources on the workplace experiences of LGBTQ+ colleagues today. You will end the session with specific and concrete ways to practice in-the-moment, everyday allyship.
