Transgender Inclusion
Consulting
IS YOUR ORGANIZATION INCLUSIVE OF TRANS EMPLOYEES & CUSTOMERS?
With 20%+ of Gen Z identifying as LGBTQ+ and an increasing number of folks coming out as transgender, it’s time to set your organization up for success with transgender-inclusive HR policies.
Our proprietary Inclusive 360 process will review your organization’s policies, procedures, programs, and partnerships for LGBTQ+ inclusion.
We’ll combine focus groups, interviews, and use our custom-built DEI analysis app to look for gaps in LGBTQ+ and specifically trans inclusion within your organization.
Next, we’ll deliver and present a custom roadmap with short-term and long-term recommendations on how to create an equitable and inclusive environment for trans employees and customers.
Combine this with our Blurred Lines workshop and LGBTQ+ eLearning for a comprehensive transgender inclusion strategy.
