Foster an Inclusive Culture for Your LGBTQ+ Staff and Partners
About
June may be Pride Month, but supporting your Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning Plus (LGBTQ+) employees and partners should be a year-round effort. This webinar recording provides a 101 overview of LGBTQ+ identities and the discrimination and exclusion experienced by the LGBTQ+ community. After watching the video, you should have resources and action steps for creating a more inclusive work environment and an increased ability to serve the LGBTQ+ community.
Thanks to the generous support of Borealis Philanthropy, Candid is offering this video as part of a series to further a variety of conversations on diversity, Equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the social sector. This specific series is free and open to the public.
