Increasingly, more and more people are “coming out” about their transgender identity. Companies need to be prepared. From considerations of anti-harassment and anti-discrimination policies to workplace trainings, knowing what the terminology means and what pronoun to use, how to deal with bathroom use issues, what medical benefits are available for transition treatment and how to support a transitioning employee. This half day workshop will provide an overview of transgender legal rights in the workplace including federal and state laws as well as recommended policies and practices. You will also hear from a company that worked with an employee during an employee’s transition and from Alex Myers about using a gender support plan that sets forth an employee’s rights, options and the support a company is willing to offer. Learn how your company can be a more transgender inclusive, nondiscriminatory, and supportive workplace.
