LGBTQ Rights In The Workplace

Following the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Bostock v. Clayton County (2020), it is now clear that discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or transgender status is illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. LGBTQ employees have legal protections in hiring, promotion, job assignments, and workplace interactions. This online training course, guided by EEOC standards, equips your team with the knowledge and tools to recognize and prevent discriminatory practices, promote a respectful, inclusive workplace culture, and follow federal laws and avoid costly legal risks.

This course covers essential topics such as: legal protections for LGBTQ employees, definitions of key terms, recognizing harassment, respecting restroom and facility access, ensuring fair access to benefits, and avoiding retaliation. Real-world examples are used to help reinforce learning.

Discrimination or harassment based on gender identity, expression, or sexual orientation is not just unethical, it is unlawful. This training ensures you and your team understand your responsibilities and can lead by example to foster a culture of respect and equity.
