Today’s Pages of HR is presented as part of our sponsored Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Week. This episode is a special one as we’re talking and learning about what it means to create an LGBTQ2+ inclusive workplace. I’m joined by Michael Bach, author of Alphabet Soup: The Essential Guide to LGBTQ2+ Inclusion at Work. Alphabet Soup serves as a critical guide to creating a truly inclusive workplace for all, regardless of sexuality, gender identity, or gender expression. Whether you consider yourself an ally, or don’t know what it means to be one, you’ll come away armed with everything you need to know to create a safe, productive, and thriving organization. In part one of this two-part series, listen in as we discuss sexuality, gender identity, and gender expression (yes, they’re different things, and it matters), define what a Safe Space is, and how to turn your space into one, and more.
