Celebrating Gender Identity and Expression in the Workplace

On June 15, 2020, a monumental Supreme Court decision was made to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and/or transgender status in the workplace.

Our business community is looking to understand and build supportive work cultures for our transgender community. Research shows that gender diversity has a positive impact on the bottom line. A multiplicity of perspectives can spark creativity and innovation, and help organizations spot and seize new opportunities. According to a McKinsey report, the most gender-diverse companies are 21 percent more likely to experience above-average profitability.

At this virtual networking event, we will share information to help increase your awareness about gender identity and expression and present you with strategies to be an ally and encourage an inclusive workplace.

We will be hearing from Candis Cox, a Gender and Sexuality educator, lecturer, and advocate for the LGBTQ community. Candis serves on the board of directors for Equality NC and works closely with Human Rights Campaign fighting discrimination and educating people of all backgrounds on gender identity, sexuality, and minority issues. Candis has been featured in a number of news specials, has been interviewed by news networks across the globe, and is the only transgender person to have met with former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory to discuss the anti-LGBT “bathroom bill” HB2.

Come prepared to build long-lasting relationships on June 7, and meet other professionals who share your commitment to building an inclusive and diverse business culture. We look forward to seeing you at our virtual We Connect event.
