Member Event: Acas Gender identity in the workplace (England & Wales) – digital event 19 August 2021

Employers have made great strides in creating inclusive workplaces. However, many still have little or no experience of trans, non-binary and intersex employees, causing individuals distinct challenges.  This 3-hour digital event will explore the key areas of legislation and good practice surrounding how employers can better support trans, non-binary and intersex employees.

Business need

The trans, non-binary and intersex community is currently believed to make up around one per cent of the UK population. However, numbers are increasing, especially within the age group defined as millennial. As this group enters the workforce, employers will see an increasing number of employees who identify as trans, non-binary or intersex.  It is important that employers are proactive in their policies and procedures surrounding gender diversity. Addressing concerns now is crucial for maintaining a diverse, inclusive and productive workplace.  This digital event will enable you to implement and improve gender diversity and inclusion within your workplace. You will gain an understanding of the relevant law and good practice for ensuring employee engagement, retention of staff and legal compliance.  Delivered via Zoom, you will have the opportunity to interact with our knowledgeable trainers and explore some of the challenges you may be facing. All delegates will receive an electronic certificate of attendance for their participation in the training.
