About this Event
There is a clear business advantage for organisations having appropriate policies, procedures, induction and training in place to provide a culturally sensitive employment environment that builds good relationships with LGBTQ+ staff, LGBTQ+ customers and the wider LGBTQ+ community.
Additionally, the Equality Act 2010 - which the new Labour Government has committed to protect - has made the law both stronger and more enforceable where litigation may be concerned so organisations increasingly need to assess their own workplace culture around LGBTQ+ issues to minimise any potential future complaints.
Recent research about LGBTQ+ inclusion from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has also demonstrated that some staff may still be perceived as homophobic, bi-phobic and transphobic, often due to low LGBTQ+ awareness, rather than intentional prejudice or discrimination on their part.
Delivered by CIPD Trainers from Pride UK ( www.prideukqualitystandard.com), this half hour webinar presentation explains current LGBTQ+ issues and challenges facing organisations, gives examples of research, training and accreditation available to strengthen development of workplace LGBT+ inclusion and shares free information, resources and support available to all staff who want to influence change for the better.
