Creating Inclusive Workplaces for Transgender Employees
The EEOC and many state employment laws interpret Title VII of the Civil Rights Act to protect transgender individuals from discrimination based on gender identity. Compliance is essential—but inclusion goes further.
Transgender Inclusion in the Workplace training equips employees with the knowledge and skills to understand gender identity, recognize the challenges transgender colleagues and customers may face, and practice strategies for building workplaces rooted in respect and equity. By fostering understanding and allyship, this training helps organizations create environments where every employee feels valued to strengthen engagement, retention, and overall workplace culture.

What to consider when choosing the right transgender inclusion training to build allyship in your workplace
Transgender employees face higher rates of discrimination and exclusion, which can negatively affect retention, morale, and performance.

Organizations that invest in transgender inclusion see measurable benefits, including improved employee engagement, stronger team collaboration, and a more positive reputation that supports recruitment and retention across the workforce.
Participants will gain a clearer understanding of gender identity and transgender rights in the workplace, along with practical strategies for fostering respect, inclusion, and allyship.
