SUMMARY:Member Workshop: More than a Rainbow: Cultivating 2SLGBTQIA+ Belonging at Work
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 11\, 2022\, from 12 PM to 1 PM EDT – this event is exclusive for employees of our Proud Partners and Community Partners. \nA rainbow logo in celebration of Pride sends a message about an employer’s intention to be inclusive of 2SLGBTQIA+ clients and employees. Rainbows\, on their own\, do not result in measurable change for 2SLGBTQIA+ employees or achieve objectives related to diversity\, equity and inclusion. In fact\, new research shows that introducing brand-related measures without meaningful action can backfire and alienate queer and trans jobseekers and employees. \nThis workshop will guide employers to a deeper understanding of what drives inequities for 2SLGBTQIA+ people in the workplace. Exploring qualitative and quantitative data highlights from “Building the evidence base about economic\, health\, and social inequities faced by LGBTQ2S+ individuals in Canada\,”* attendees will be provided with practical steps they can take that are less performative and more impactful. \nAbout SRDC\nThe Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC) is a non-profit research organization\, created specifically to develop\, field test\, and rigorously evaluate new programs. SRDC’s two-part mission is to help policy-makers and practitioners identify policies and programs that improve the well-being of all Canadians\, with a special concern for the effects on the disadvantaged\, and to raise the standards of evidence that are used in assessing these policies. \n*”Building the evidence base about economic\, health\, and social inequities faced by LGBTQ2S+ individuals in Canada” is a research project funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada\, and carried out by SRDC in collaboration with Dr. Sean Waite at the University of Western Ontario\, Pride at Work Canada\, and the Labour Market Information Council. \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nIdentify the key factors influencing employment inequities of 2SLGBTQIA+ employees and job seekers\nShowcase how rainbows without action can negatively impact your organization’s brand among the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities\nProvide actionable best practices to build bring a sense of belonging for 2SLGBTQIA+ employees and jobseekers\n\nAudience: \n\nDiversity\, Equity & Inclusion professionals\nEmployee Resource Group members\nCommunity engagement professionals\nMarketing and communications professionals\nCorporate Social Responsibility departments\n\nPresenter:\n[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″] Kelsey Brennan (she/her)\, Research Associate at Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC) \nAn expert in research\, evaluation and capacity building related to LGBTQ2S+ engagement\, youth programs\, employment supports\, and Northern land-based programs.

SUMMARY:National Member Webinar: Towards Braiding: Two-Spirit and Indigenous Inclusion in the Workplace
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 18\, 2022\, from 12 PM to 1 PM EDT – this event is exclusive for employees of our Proud Partners and Community Partners. \nMany employers are now explicitly encouraging applications from Indigenous jobseekers as part of their diversity statements and recruitment strategies with the desire to increase the representation. But without adequate preparation\, this can do little to achieve objectives related to reconciliation and/or wiser relationships Indigenous people. In fact these inclusion efforts can end up reproducing harmful patterns of relationship and representation\, resulting in tokenization and discrimination. \nIn this webinar you will be guided to think through your expectations\, your intentions\, and the impact of your choices\, when it comes to Indigenous and Two-Spirit inclusion in the workplace\, and to think systemically how these are rooted in a larger social and historical context. This session will offer general guiding questions for reflection and exploration\, as well as point to some “red flags” that commonly emerge in the workplace and which warrant pause and further consideration before pursuing efforts to include Indigenous peoples and perspectives. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand some key questions that will help guide Two-Spirit and Indigenous inclusion and belonging\nExplore some of the best practice implications to Two-Spirit and Indigenous recruitment\, engagement and retention\nRecognize some of the common mis-steps on the path to meaningful Two-Spirit and Indigenous inclusion in the workplace\n\nAudience: \n\nDiversity\, Equity & Inclusion Professionals\nTalent Acquisition Professionals\nHuman Resources Professionals\n\nPresenter:\n[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″] [/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″] Elwood Jimmy (he/him\, they\, them)\, Thunderchild First Nation \nElwood Jimmy (he/him\, they\, them) is originally from the Thunderchild First Nation\, a Nêhiyaw community in the global north.
