SUMMARY:Member Workshop: 2SLGBTQIA+ Inclusive Health Benefits
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, August 24\, 2022\, from 12 PM to 1 PM EDT – this event is exclusive for employees of our Proud Partners and Community Partners. \nHealth benefits play a key role in most employee packages and the quality of the coverage offered can be a key factor in both attracting and retaining talent. However\, it is important to recognize that most benefit plans are not inherently inclusive of 2SLGBTQIA+ employees. Do you know whether your benefits plan is truly inclusive? Does your plan cover drugs related to HIV/AIDS (including PrEP) or coverage for transition-related costs (including gender affirmation surgeries)? Leveraging the expertise of the Pride at Work Canada staff team\, this presentation will unpack some of the barriers that 2SLGBTQIA+ employees experience when accessing health benefits and offer key recommendations for ensuring your benefits plan truly benefits all employees\, regardless of gender identity and/or sexual orientation. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nOverview of several health benefits that are specific to 2SLGBTQIA+ employees\nReview examples of inclusive benefits coverage\nGuidance on how to advocate for the most inclusive benefits plan with your provider\n\nAudience: \n\nDiversity\, Equity & Inclusion Professionals\nHuman Resources Professionals\nPride Employee Resource Group Leaders\nInsurance industry and EAP providers\n\nPresenter:\n[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″] Jade Pichette (they/them)\, Director of Programs\, Pride at Work Canada \nJade Pichette is an inclusion\, diversity\, equity\, and accessibility (IDEA!) professional based in Tkarón:to/Toronto.
