Overview:
Diversity is a vast and complex topic- one that requires further education on communities uniquely impacted by marginalization. One of these communities is the LGBTQ population- an ever growing and needed aspect of the workforce. In this webinar we will explore who this population includes, how to protect employees from bias, and retaining staff.
Why you should Attend:
As the world becomes ever more aware of inclusion and best practices leaders are being challenged to understand not only diversity as a whole but how different aspects of diversity must be applied and understood. In this webinar we look in depth at how leadership can become ever more responsive to the needs of LGBTQ employees- from hiring to retention and everything in between.
