Description
Today Canada’s increasingly diverse population continues to develop at an unprecedented rate of change; politically, economically and socially.

Top organizations and businesses want to; attract, retain and promote talented individuals. And high-performing employees, of all backgrounds want to work with progressive, innovative, and reputable places of employment that enable them to achieve their fullest potential. 

Creating an “inclusive” culture means working towards an ideal level of open-mindedness and one that fosters non-judgmental behaviours. An organization that continuously strives to demonstrate “equal opportunity” practices, promotes healthy conflict and values new perspectives will be well positioned to embrace diversity now and into the future!

In this webinar we’re going to explore:

  • Understanding our audience - LGBTQ2S general terminology, language & descriptions (terms to use, terms to avoid)
  • The differences between sex/gender, sexual behavior versus sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expressions
