Our LGBTQ+ Network aims to ensure that GC is an inclusive and accessible place to work where people feel free of judgement.
They want to support people in and outside of work, educating them on current LGBTQ+ issues, and do this by creating an open and safe environment where people feel comfortable to share their experiences. Encouraging people to come to work as their authentic selves will not only improve productivity, but it will create a culture where people can thrive and develop.
On Thursday 28th March from 12:00 – 13:00, our LGBTQ+ Network will host a ‘Trans Inclusion Workshop’ to mark and celebrate ‘Trans Day of Visibility’ (31st March)
They'll provide a clear introduction to colleagues on transgender and non-binary identities – and the issues these communities are facing in the UK today. Our key speaker will be Dr. Christopher Owen – Manchester Pride’s Inclusivity Development Manager, who many of you will remember from our Pride keynote speech last August.
Attend to:
- learn about the systemic oppression of trans people and the practical tools for implementing trans inclusion in the workplace
- gain a practical understanding of how to support trans and non-binary clients, customers and colleagues, as well as how this support benefits everyone else as well
We hope to see you there. The calendar invite has been published to all colleagues.
