In this course, you are going to learn about the importance and elements of safe inclusive workspaces for transgendered persons – those identifying as one gender but born into the body of the opposing gender. You will consider terminology, elements, policies, and resources to build and sustain a safe, inclusive environment for transgendered employees and increase the comfort level and productivity off all in your organization.

At the end of this workshop, you will: understand the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion for workspaces; be able to describe and analyze key issues of diversity, equity and inclusion in one’s work environments and community; grasp the power of diversity as a tool for creativity, and productive collaboration in the workspace; have the opportunity to share elements of one’s culture with others; and learn that norms and practices one thinks are universal may be culturally dependent.
