Program Description:
Back by popular demand with a virtual session! Join us for a presentation and discussion about Supporting Trans Employees in the Workplace as human resources professionals. We will discuss how to promote an inclusive environment for all gender identities including when employees transition in the workplace. While various executive orders at the federal level have created a confusing landscape, we still have an ethical and legal responsibility to protect employees from harassment and discrimination. We will discuss obligations under the Washington Law Against Discrimination as well as common employee relations situations and how to handle them effectively. Come prepared with questions and thoughts to share in this open forum following a short presentation.
