LGBTQ2+ Diversity and Inclusion for Workplaces: Online Training

LGBTQ2+ diversity and inclusion training is an important step on the pathway to creating an inclusive workplace culture where everyone feels safe and respected. This self-paced online course educates participants about LGBTQ2+ communities, appropriate terms of reference, and the challenges and inequities employees who identify as LGBTQ2+ may face at work. The objective is to lay the foundation for open communication and foster a LGBTQ2+ inclusive workplace culture where employees who identify as LGBTQ2+ are supported and co-workers are strong allies.

You can purchase one or more units of this DEI course now and start training right away. But if you're purchasing training for your organization, we recommend setting up an employer account first. Employers get a discount of 20% or more plus a FREE employer console that makes it easy to order, distribute, and manage diversity and inclusion training.

Challenged my own description of inclusion

"This course challenged my own description of inclusion and how best to create a comfortable, safe environment for teams. It was really valuable for me to look at the ways discrimination and harassment can be perceived and avoided to create a respectful inclusive workplace where everyone feels safe and business productivity can be maximized."
