Description:
|
Cities, counties, and states throughout the U.S. are passing laws and ordinances that establish expectations of transgender inclusion for employers.
Today, nearly 100 cities and counties, 12 states, and the District of Columbia have laws and ordinances that prohibit discrimination based on gender identity, and public opinion continues to sway in favor of fairness for transgender people in employment.
But even with increasing protections and acceptance throughout the United States, surveys find that at least one of every five transgender people have experienced workplace discrimination and harassment. Such discrimination, and subsequent loss of talent, comes at a significant cost to employers, many of whom are expected to suffer from shortages of qualified workers.
Also, enforcing the new laws will not entirely be the same as enforcing the law protecting other characteristics. Generally, the same policies one uses to handle other concerns can be used, BUT there are some complexities with sexual orientation and gender expression and identity that HR needs to be prepared to deal with.
Learning Objectives: - How to establish clear company guidelines
- The process of establishing gender transition guidelines
- The facility needs of transgender employees
- The importance of updating employee personnel records

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: | Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you
attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions. The live
versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form of training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without
any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back
at work immediately after the session ends! And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous
times and to share it with others in your office. Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the
presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
