Supporting Gender Identity: How to Create a Gender-Inclusive Workplace

Workplaces are becoming more diverse each year and there is a growing need to support a gender inclusive culture. Someone joining or already within your organization most likely identifies as non-binary, gender fluid, or transgender. This session will cover the importance of having strong HR policies and plans in place to give support and guidance to the entire population. You will learn how to develop an HR communication plan to support a cohesive and understanding culture, the importance of using the correct pronouns, and how to build an HR policy framework to support employees as they present their authentic selves at work.

Learning Objectives:

Gender Identity is the foundation of who we are in the world. This session will give you the information needed to create an inclusive environment for all. In the session, you will:

  • Gain a broader understanding of gender identity
  • Learn basic terminology around gender inclusivity
  • Create a policy framework to support gender inclusivity
