DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 28\, 2023\, from 12 pm to 1:30 pm EDT – this is a free networking event for trans\, non-binary and agender people. \n \nPride at Work Canada is proud to present the sixth installment of Matrices: Trans\, Non-Binary & Agender Digital Connect\, a free networking event for trans\, non-binary\, and agender professionals and jobseekers! We will bring trans\, non-binary\, and agender professionals from across Canada. \nOur guest speaker\, Pri Bertucci (they/them)\, will deliver brief remarks exploring the history of Portuguese neutral language and pronouns\, as well as some of the content of the Neutral and Inclusive Language Dossier (officially launched in Portugal in October 2021 in partnership with: Out & Equal and the UN Global Compact). \nAttendees will then enter 1-1 speed networking rounds to discuss our speaker’s story\, our session theme\, and to meet other professionals and jobseekers. After the 1-1 speed networking rounds\, we’ll come back as a group and close the session. \nPlease note that our event will be fully taking place on the Gatheround networking platform. Once registered\, we will send attendees a link to the event and if you haven’t previously used Gatheround\, you’ll need to create an account and sign in. Creating an account with Gatheround is as simple as confirming an email and attendees will be sent detailed instructions on how to join the event! \nHelp us make Matrices a safer event! All attendees will be provided with a set of community guidelines for this event that they will be expected to read and abide by. Pride at Work Canada staff will be present in the main room at all times and volunteer facilitators will be rotating within some of the 1-1 speed networking rounds.

Pride at Work Canada seeks to create space for professional and job-seeking trans\, non-binary and agender people to find support from and make connections with one another. We hope to be responsive to the needs and suggestions expressed by our attendees as this feedback helps to shape future events. \nWho should attend? \nThe purpose of this event is to provide space for folks who identify as trans\, non-binary and agender. There is no desire to monitor anyone’s gender or create barriers to entry. If you come to this event you will be welcome. While the support of people who identify as allies to trans people and communities is always appreciated please remember that the best support sometimes comes in the form of leaving space for people to connect around their shared identities and lived experiences. \nWho can answer my questions about the event? \nPlease direct questions about this event to Iyol Martinez (they/them)\, Leadership Programs Coordinator at iyol.martinez@prideatwork.ca. You may also contact info@prideatwork.ca with questions about any Pride at Work Canada events and activities. \nAccessibility \n\nWe will have an automated captioning translation in French\nCaptioning provided by 3 Play Media Canada\nIf you have any accessibility requests please email iyol.martinez@prideatwork.ca with requests by March 14\, 2023\n\nLimited number of participants in this free networking event for trans\, non-binary and agender people.\nRegistration for this event has closed.

SUMMARY:Rendez-Vous: Women x Non-Binary Digital Connect [EN & FR]
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, February 14\, 2023\, from 12 pm to 1:30 pm EST – This is a free networking event for women and non-binary people. \n \nPride at Work Canada has been bringing women and non-binary* professionals and job seekers together for years. As many women and non-binary people don’t feel safe in many professional networking spaces\, Rendez-Vous: Women x Non-Binary Digital Connect creates a unique opportunity for women and non-binary people to make professional connections in a casual and comfortable setting – from anywhere! \n*Pride at Work Canada understands that these terms may not resonate with everyone and endeavors to include all those who do not identify as men. This includes trans women\, cis women\, non-binary folks\, agender folks\, and more. We also host Matrices: Trans\, Non-Binary & Agender Digital Connect to those who would prefer a trans\, non-binary\, and agender specific space. \nOur guest speaker will deliver brief remarks\, then attendees will be placed into breakout rooms to discuss our speaker’s story and the event theme\, and to meet other professionals and jobseekers. After the breakout room discussions\, we’ll come back as a group to share our takeaways and close the session. \nBilingualism: At this event\, there will be a Francophone breakout room and live translation available upon request two weeks previous to the event. \nHelp us make Rendez-Vous a safer event! All attendees will be provided with a set of community guidelines prior to the event that they will be expected to read and honour. Discussion facilitators will be present in our breakout rooms\, and there will be a BIPOC-specific breakout room\, as well as a non-binary specific breakout room\, for folks who wish to join that space. \nGuest speaker:\n[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″] Uzoma Asagwara (they/them)\, Politician\, Registered Psychiatric Nurse\, Activist \nUzoma Asagwara is a Registered Psychiatric Nurse\, Addictions Specialist\, and former member of the Canadian National basketball team.

Informal social interactions between employees can contribute to a greater sense of community\, belonging\, and inclusion in the workplace. But what happens when all employees aren’t meaningfully included? The results are multifold and 2SLGBTQIA+ employees are often intimately familiar with the impacts. Do employers have a role to play in guiding inclusive social engagements between employees? And what responsibilities do employees have in contributing to the social culture at work?  \nLed by a research team from York University’s School of Human Resource Management\, this webinar will guide attendees to a deeper understanding of the impacts of subtle forms of discrimination in the workplace and the unique role of social networks on the wellbeing of 2SLGBTQIA+ employees. Exploring the preliminary data from “Do you see what I see? The role of LGBTQ2+ employees’ network in shaping their experiences of workplace discrimination and wellbeing\,”* and the project survey that Pride at Work Canada promoted to Proud and Community Partners\, attendees will be provided with valuable insights that can inform best practices for the recruitment\, retention\, and engagement\, of queer and trans employees. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nShowcase preliminary results of ”Do you see what I see? The role of LGBTQ2+ employees’ network in shaping their experiences of workplace discrimination and wellbeing”\nRecognize examples of subtle forms of discrimination\nReview nuances between the experiences of Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual and Trans employees’ experiences of perceived discrimination and wellbeing\nIdentify impacts of social networks on employee wellbeing\n\nAudience: \n\nGeneral employee population\nHuman Resources professionals\nPride employee resource group members\nDiversity\, Equity\, & Inclusion Professionals\n\n* “Do you see what I see?
