As we approach International Day of HIV/AIDS Awareness on Wednesday, November 29th at noon, join us for an engaging webinar as we delve into a crucial question: “Is Your Workplace Truly Inclusive for 2SLGBTQIA+ Employees Living with HIV/AIDS?”

Hosted by Pride at Work Canada, this session delves into workplace inclusivity for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals living with HIV/AIDS. We scrutinize corporate policies, practices, and the overall work environment to assess support levels for this specific population.
