Good employers will understand that it’s important to ensure all employees feel welcome, respected, and represented at work. However, more than a third of LGBTQ+ staff have hidden their sexuality or gender identity at work for fear of discrimination.
In this episode, we'll speak about transgender inclusion in the workplace. We'll also speak through definitions you need to know, and how employers can overcome common barriers to the workplace for the LGBTQ+ community.
In this episode, we cover several key topics including:
(2:00-09:05) Employment Law Update led by Adam Haines, Partner at Aaron & Partners
(09:13-33:41) How do employers create an organisation that is trans inclusive? Discussed by Tara Hewitt (Associate Director of Inclusion and Engagement at the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust), Ollie Petrovic (Onboarding Specialist at The Co-Operative Bank) and Steven Woods (Software Developer at AutoTrader UK)
(33:48-49:36) A conversation with Carl Austin-Behan, LGBT Advisor to the Mayor of Greater Manchester. What are common definitions that employers need to know - and what barriers do LGBTQ+ people often face in the workplace?
