How can you empower members of staff to notice and challenge behaviour? How can you create a workplace culture that supports reporting of harassment? The importance of working in ways that are trauma informed and sensitive to members of staff who have lived experience of sexual harm The importance of supporting staff who are responsible for driving and delivering this change in the workplace   This is a strategic session that will be suitable for anyone who has any responsibility for the way in which their organisation prevents or responds to sexual harassment. The webinar will be useful for those of you who want to have a sense of where your organisations is right now and what the path ahead might look like. Bring your questions and your curiosity – both will be very welcome.     CLICK HERE TO REGISTER YOUR FREE PLACE     www.inclusivecompanies.co.uk

LGBTQIA+ Inclusion in the Workplace Conference
Wednesday 10th July 2024
09:30 - 15:30
IStructE, London

Dear Jean-Francois,

We must stand strong on LGBTQIA+ inclusion.

More than a third of LGBT+ staff have hidden their identity at work for fear of discrimination. With trans staff even less likely to open up to employers, there is work to do to improve inclusivity at work for the LGBTQIA+ community. And across the UK, there has been a worrying rise in hate crime against LGBTQ+ communities.

Westminster Insights LGBTQIA+ Inclusion in the Workplace Conference comes at a key time, providing guidance, insights and networking to help you drive forward with your LGBT inclusion strategy.

Understand the importance of inclusive and visible LGBT+ leadership from the board room to line managers, inspiring activism and advocating for safe spaces for employees who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Gain insights into how LGBTQIA+ discrimination and harassment can manifest in the workplace; understand the impact and the steps you can take to support the wellbeing and safety of all staff.

Spotlighting transgender inclusion, learn how to promote a trans inclusive culture at work as a colleague, line manager and across senior leadership. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the role of cisgender employees in building an equitable and inclusive workplace.

Take away clear actionable measures to improve the experience of LGBTQIA+ colleagues, ensuring your workplace thrives and provides space for all employees to bring their full selves to work.

*LGBT in Britain

Key Points:

• Educate cis gender employees on LGBT+ inclusion and normalise conversations about LGBT+ diversity and inclusion
