Cultivating a Trans-Inclusive Workplace

Join me in a vital and candid conversation with global diversity, equity and inclusion leader Dani Gomez-Ortega, as she explains three basic elements crucial to supporting our transgender community in the workplace. Dani reviews the terminology we need to both understand and honor to respectfully include transgender employees. She shares her passion, expertise and experiences regarding the challenges transgender individuals face in the workplace and important strategies organizations must take to increase the inclusivity and dignity of this demographic. Dani offers valuable insight on how the conditions of psychological safety serve our efforts to ensure those who want not only to survive but also thrive as valued members of our teams. The statistics shared by Dani are alarming and reinforce the need for organizations to prioritize strategies necessary for all transgender employees feel a sense of belonging and safety to bring their diverse and authentic contributions to the table. I am grateful for Dani's support of my own need to grow and understand behaviours that support transgender individuals and know you will also benefit from her approach to diversity, equity and inclusion. The release of this episode coincides with the Transgender Day of Remembrance ( also known as the International Transgender Day of Remembrance) which memorializes those who have been murdered as a result of transphobia.
