Ensuring that a work environment is safe and inclusive for 2SLGBTQI+ people starts much before the hiring of a sexual or gender diverse individual. Systems need to be implemented, numerous conversations need to occur, and questions need to be addressed to set up a 2SLGBTQI+ employee for success.

In this webinar, Zakary-Georges Gagné (she/they), Francophone Engagement Coordinator at the Enchanté Network, will share some of her experiences in looking for employment as a non-binary, transfeminine, and Cree person, as well as her professional experiences in strengthening HR practices and decolonized, anti-racist, accessible, and inclusive work spaces.

From job postings to interviews, benefits packages, on-going training, internal culture and policies, participants will be able to learn more about how to review HR practices through a francophone and inclusive lens.

At the end of this workshop, participants will have deepen their knowledge on or heard more about:

• Creating safe work environments for 2SLGBTQI+ people
• Job searching experiences from a non binary, transfeminine, and Cree individual
• Insight on how to review internal policies and HR practices through a francophone, decolonial, and 2SLGBTQI+ lens
