Creating an inclusive workplace culture today will help employers thrive in the increasingly diverse business environment of tomorrow. The growing LGBTQ workforce segment understands this, prioritizing employers who are inclusive, flexible, and empathetic. Yet while 64 percent of employers describe themselves as LGBTQ-friendly , only three in 10 extend workplace benefits to same-sex couples or to those living as married.
Join us for a panel discussion on how employers can become better allies to their LGBTQ workforce. The panel will provide practical advice on:
- Creating inclusive benefits that address the unique needs of LGBTQ employees
- Developing communications that inclusive of all workers, regardless of sexual orientation, or gender identification
- Providing policies that promote equality in areas such as hiring and leave
- Establishing and supporting an officially recognized LGBTQ employee resource group and diversity offices
