Supporting LGBTQ+ Coworkers: 01. Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation

Gender and sexuality are different, and it's important to understand the difference. In this program, we'll define gender identity and sexual orientation. We'll discuss common terms that are often misunderstood to help bring more awareness to workplaces with LGBTQ+ employees. We'll cover transgender, gender non-conforming, nonbinary, agender, genderfluid, cisgender, and more. Understanding and using the correct terminology will help employees support their LGBTQ+ coworkers by demonstrating respect for each unique individual.
