The business of disclosure at work can be very complicated for 2SLGBTQIA+ employees and job seekers. Following Coming Out Day on October 11th where many people discuss openly their gender identity and sexual orientation. Whether two-spirit, queer, and trans employees are “out” is very dependent on the psychological safety that is built.

This webinar by DEI and psychological safety expert Deepak Kashyap will discuss how for 2SLGBTQIA+ employees “coming out” may not only be once and the challenges employees experience. Bringing both workplace and community experience to the table we will look at actionable ways to develop psychological safety.

Learning objectives:

• Building psychologically safer workplaces for 2SLGBTQIA+ staff
• The complicated experience of “coming out” at work
• How to support staff who are “coming out” at work

Audience:
