Transgender in the Workplace
OVERVIEW
Some transgender people who wish to disclose this truth aboutthemselves to others have reached a breaking point in their lives where it's
too difficult to hide who they are any longer. Transgender people often feel
compelled to share who they are in order to build stronger and more authentic
relationships with those closest to them. This is particularly true in the
workplace, where we consistently spend a majority of our waking lives with
other people.
A business that includes "gender identity" in its
non-discrimination policy should be prepared to manage a gender transition.
Learn the best practice guidelines for gender transitions that clearly
delineate responsibilities and expectations of transitioning employees, their
supervisors, colleagues and other staff.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Although the transgender population is small, employers must
still be prepared to handle workplace issues related to transgender employees.
How an employer handles an employee's transition has potential legal
implications, as well as an impact on the transitioning employee and his or her
co-workers. Employers that are unprepared to handle a gender transition are
likely to face not only employee relations issues but also discrimination
claims.
This webinar examines how employers can best manage the
workplace issues surrounding an employee's gender transition.
