Overview
For some transgender people, there comes a point where hiding who they are is no longer possible, and the workplace, where we spend much of our waking lives, is often where they choose to share it. This 60-minute webinar on transgender in the workplace shows employers how to respond well.
Any business with gender identity in its non-discrimination policy should be ready to manage a gender transition. You'll learn what transgender means and how it differs from LGBQ, the business case for inclusion, and how to review policies and practices for gender neutrality.
The session covers benefits issues, disclosure before, during or after an interview, HR's role in the transition, federal anti-discrimination protections and how state and local laws apply, plus guidelines that set clear expectations for transitioning employees, supervisors and co-workers.
Why attend: The transgender population is small, but employers still need to be ready. How a transition is handled has legal implications and affects both the transitioning employee and co-workers. Unprepared employers risk employee relations problems and discrimination claims. This session suits managers, HR managers, directors and professionals, and in-house counsel.
