Overview:

Understanding how pronouns are used in the workplace are an important part in LGBTQA+ inclusivity. Sharing, asking, and using the correct pronouns for your colleagues shows that you’re respecting who they are. In this webinar, SGO Facilitator Kia Rivera will share ways to ask for a colleague’s pronouns and what to do if you don’t get it right.

Learning Goals:

• Define what pronouns are
• Discuss best practices for pronoun usage
• Begin thinking of ways you can apply allyship when it comes to pronoun usage in the workplace

Overview:

In this webinar, SGO Facilitator Fatima Dainkeh will share ways dominant culture harms employee experience, review core principles of anti-racist and liberatory practices in the workplace, and provide everyday action steps we can take to move closer towards liberated workplaces.

Learning Goals:

• Define what it means to be anti-racist on the personal and organizational levels
• Begin thinking of small ways you can embody an anti-racist lens in the workplace

The workplace experience, while seemingly similar, differs significantly based on a person’s gender expression. In this webinar, SGO Facilitator Rachel Sadler will review the ways in which women+ experience macro and micro gender inequities including salary disparities, lack of advancement opportunities, body discrimination, and maternal penalties. She’ll then share how you can create a more gender inclusive workplace, which works for everyone.

Learning Goals:

• Review/compare earning statistics and career growth gaps between men and women+
• Examine women+ specific micro/macro aggressions
• Interrogate unspoken penalties for women+ parents
• Discuss ways to move towards a more gender inclusive workplace
