This workshop is available in a 90 minute or 3-hour time block and can be delivered virtually or in-person at your office.
When you reserve your workshop, you have the option of adding on a 50+ page reference book created by our consultant, which includes extensive resources, definitions, recommended language, and articles for your company to utilize. The reference book will be delivered to you in a PDF format upon completion of the workshop.
Other than demonstrating your company’s dedication to a full spectrum of diversity, equity, and inclusion, training your staff specifically on LGBTQIA+ inclusion opens the door for a happier workforce and a more successful bottom line. When you think about talent recruitment and retention, keep in mind that 1 in 5 Gen Z individuals identify as LGBTQIA+, and nearly 3 in 5 LGBTQIA+ adults reported that discrimination had a moderate or significant impact on their mental well-being. When you think about brand awareness and client development and retention, consider that Americans are twice as likely to buy or use a brand if the brand publicly supports and demonstrates a commitment to expanding or protecting LGBTQIA+ rights. To prepare for the evolving workforce, it is imperative that businesses and the professionals within them understand how to be effective allies and create inclusive workplaces.
The Chamber’s Director of Learning & Development will attend the preliminary meeting between the consultant and your company, but a Chamber representative will not be present for the workshop itself. However, you will be in communication with a Chamber rep from the time you book the workshop to the workshop follow-up.
Attendees must cancel by email at least 5 business days in advance of the seminar for a full refund.
