SUMMARY:Barries & Challenges facing 2SLGBTQ+ Community in the tech industry
DESCRIPTION:Creating an open and inclusive work environment that attracts and retains diverse talent has never been more essential to remain competitive. 2SLGBTQ+ people working in markets across Canada experience various workplace cultures and barriers to inclusion unique to this population. Despite progress toward wholly inclusive and diverse workplace environments\, more must be done regarding stigmatization\, higher risk of harassment\, intersectionality\, and lack of visibility\, especially for Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming (TGNC) people. This webinar aims to increase awareness and understanding of the challenges and barriers facing members of the 2SLGBTQ+ communities in the workplace and to provide practical steps for creating more inclusive and supportive work environments. \n3 Key Takeaways.. \n\nThe term ‘Pride’ represents a way of embracing one’s identity\, turning away from shame\, and honoring diversity.\nMany individuals who experience discrimination based on their sexual orientation\, race\, religion\, or ethnicity are forced to mask their true selves on a daily basis. This can drain their energy and limit their potential in the workplace.\nAllyship is crucial. This means engaging with local communities and taking action\, such as normalizing the use of pronouns at work\, offering gender-affirming healthcare benefits\, and reviewing policies to ensure they’re inclusive for everyone.
