WEBINAR REPLAY

Supporting LGBTQIA+ Workforce Mental Health

Learn how organizations can design benefits, programs, and policies to support the unique experiences of LGBTQIA+ employees.

What You’ll Learn

A recent Deloitte survey found that 80 percent of employees see inclusivity in the workplace as a key criterion when choosing a job. That same survey found that “72 percent of respondents would leave or may consider leaving an organization for a more inclusive one.” Although acceptance around sexuality and identity has become more commonplace, organizations are still navigating how to properly support their employees, colleagues, and teammates who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning or queer, intersex, and asexual, as well as understand the unique challenges that LGBTQIA+ employees experience. Join Lyra for a fireside chat in honor of Pride Month as our thought leaders discuss what sexuality and identity mean in the workplace and methods organizations can implement to support LGBTQIA+ workforce mental health.

You’ll learn:

  • How organizations can design benefits, programs, and policies to support the unique experiences of LGBTQIA+ employees
  • Best practices for organizations and managers to help support people who identify as LGBTQIA+
  • The importance of culturally-responsive care and having a network of providers that support the LGBTQIA+ community
