About the Program
There are countless aspects (particularly in the business administration of a firm/company) that affect the LGBTQ+ community differently than the heterosexual community. For example, many forms clients and employees need to fill out have only markers for Ms. Miss or Mr. but no option for a non-binary person. This program will go through common policies and procedures of law firms/companies and identify areas that can be improved to be more inclusive, particularly to the LGBTQ+ community that is often overlooked.
You Will Learn
• About specific solutions that can be implemented immediately to make their firms/companies more inclusive, particularly to the LGBTQ+ community
• About key themes and common trouble areas to avoid when creating and implementing new policies and procedures
Who Should Attend
Anyone interested in making their place of business more inclusive. Partners and counsel with the ability to influence policy making at their firms/companies, and business administration professionals.
