Employment Law Webinar Series: All Three Webinars, May 1-22, 2018 (Includes discount)

Course Overview:

We each have the ability to give warmth and kindness to others, but choosing to tap into that propensity can be another story when traditional notions of gender boundaries are being pushed and tested.

LGBTQ+, sexual identity, sexual orientation, cis-gender, transgender, third gender, gender X, and gender neutral are all part of our new vocabulary, and they bring expectations and responsibilities for tolerance in the workplace.

During this informative program you will explore:

  • Current workplace rights and protections
  • The implications of third-gender status
  • Possible family leave and disability accommodations for transitioning employees
  • Workplace policy interpretation
  • Bathroom selections
  • Best practices for moving the organization forward in accepting all employees as they are and who they want to be

Course Instructor:

Jennifer Bouman-Steagall, Pacific Northwest Defense Attorney, Red Kite Employment Law
