Our first Virtual Dinner of the PDND Series. This session will outline employers’ legal obligations and best practices to help create a safer and more welcoming workplace for members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
2SLGBTQI+ people in Canada continue to experience discrimination and harassment in the workplace.
A 2017 study of LGBT Canadians found that 40% of respondents reported discrimination related to their sexual orientation or gender identity. Of those respondents, 40% reported experiencing discrimination in the workplace. A 2015 study of trans people in Ontario found that 13% had been fired explicitly for being trans, 18% were turned down for a job explicitly for being trans, and 17% declined a job they had applied for and were offered due to the lack of a safe and trans-positive work environment. This virtual session will outline employers’ current and forthcoming legal obligations to prevent and respond to discrimination and harassment against 2SLGBTQI+ employees, including under human rights and occupational health and safety legislation, as well as best practices to help create safer and more welcoming workplaces for members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community This is from CPHR Nova Scotia.
