Encouraging Allyship and Representation

LGBTQIA employees often face unique challenges in the workplace, from subtle bias to outright discrimination. When left unaddressed, these issues hurt inclusion and engagement. This microlesson offers skills training to help all employees support LGBTQIA colleagues, use inclusive language, and strengthen workplace equity.

Microlesson Description

This microlesson includes video submissions from our LGBTQIA+ community because becoming a better ally starts with listening to LGBTQIA+ people about their experiences. Educate your workforce on some of the trials and tribulations that these individuals face on a daily basis, and become better accustomed to the language.

Key Concepts

  • Listen to LGBTQIA+ people about their unique experiences and struggles.
  • Be an ally in and outside of work, and continue to educate yourself and others.

  • Emtrain's Expert Answers tool, enabling employeees to submit anonymous questions about sensitive issues.
  • Rich, contemporary video scences illustrating key concepts through realistic scenarios
