Why LGBTQ Diversity Training Matters.

Is your company or organization properly trained to deal with LGBTQ diversity issues in the workplace? 

Ensuring equity in the workplace is essential to a healthy workforce. But many companies are still not working towards equity for all. The LGBTQ community faces many challenges in business. From discrimination to harassment, lower salaries, and less opportunity for promotion. 

Without a properly prepared leadership team, human resources department and workforce -  your organization could be at risk for not only a hostile work environment and lower productivity, but for serious legal action as well.

Laws on the books and court decisions thankfully protect the LGBTQ+ community from harassment, maltreatment, discrimination – is your organization compliant?

Are you providing a healthy environment for all employees including those within the LGBTQ community?  If not – the place to start is with LGBTQ diversity training at all levels of your organization hierarchy.

Companies need to understand how to navigate these inequities properly, with facts, understanding and professionalism. 

Why does equity for LGBTQ people matter to you, your leadership and employees?

Because people matter.

Because workplace productivity and culture matter.

And because laws matter.
