Why Should You Attend:
• How does your business go about recruiting the LGBT community?
• Do any of your advertising and marketing practices target LGBT consumers?
• Do you know how to assist a transgendered employee in their gender transition process at work?
• And what about those bathrooms—how are you addressing this issue?
Heterosexism – the cultural expectation that everyone is, should be, or would prefer to be heterosexual - is the established norm of the workplace; a commonplace bias in American institutions. This bias gets played out in both overt and covert behaviors which in turn negatively impact the organizational culture. However, there have been organizational successes in diminishing the biases. There is an opportunity for your organization to create strategies to ensure LGBT inclusion in your workforce.
