Le mardi 17 mars 2026 de 13 h \u00e0 14h30 h HAE<\/strong> \u2013 Ce webinaire aura lieu en fran\u00e7ais le 14 avril<\/a>.<\/p>\n Le secteur de l\u2019\u00e9nergie au Canada \u00e9volue, mais pour le personnel 2SLGBTQIA+, les chantiers restent des environnements \u00e0 haut risque o\u00f9 le harc\u00e8lement, l\u2019hypermasculinit\u00e9 et l\u2019isolement sont encore souvent consid\u00e9r\u00e9s comme faisant partie du travail. Bas\u00e9 sur le r\u00e9cent rapport \u00ab Accro\u00eetre le pouvoir du personnel 2SLGBTQIA+ dans le secteur de l\u2019\u00e9nergie<\/strong> \u00bb, publi\u00e9 par Pride at Work Canada, ce webinaire propose des actions concr\u00e8tes que les employeurs, les syndicats et les partenaires communautaires peuvent entreprendre.<\/p>\n Pendant 90 minutes, nous commencerons par une br\u00e8ve pr\u00e9sentation des principaux constats issus de l\u2019\u00e9tude qualitative nationale impliquant le personnel 2SLGBTQIA+, des dirigeants d\u2019entreprise et des leaders en ressources humaines, ainsi que des organisateurs communautaires. Nous passerons ensuite \u00e0 un panel anim\u00e9 r\u00e9unissant des experts, des leaders du secteur et des organisations communautaires, pour montrer comment ces constats peuvent \u00eatre mis en pratique, suivi d\u2019une s\u00e9ance de questions-r\u00e9ponses ouverte.<\/p>\n Ensemble, nous examinerons comment l\u2019homophobie et la transphobie se manifestent sur les chantiers, comment les initiatives DEI centr\u00e9es sur le bureau \u00e9chouent souvent \u00e0 atteindre le personnel sur le terrain, et ce qu\u2019il faut pour repenser les syst\u00e8mes afin que la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 psychologique et physique soit consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme indissociable. Nous pr\u00e9senterons \u00e9galement des pratiques prometteuses : des strat\u00e9gies de communication simples, des infrastructures inclusives, des m\u00e9canismes de responsabilisation, ainsi que le r\u00f4le des groupes de ressources pour le personnel, du mentorat et du leadership pour favoriser un changement durable.<\/p>\n 90-minute webinaire :<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00c0 la fin de ce webinaire, les participants seront en mesure de :<\/p>\n [vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″]<\/p>\n Mitchel Bowers<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″]<\/p>\n Mitchel Bowers<\/strong>, also known by his vibrant drag alter ego, Simma Downe, brings a unique and dynamic perspective to his work.
