Supporting LGBTQ+ Coworkers: 06. Supporting a Coworker Coming Out
Learning objectives
- Gain an understanding of how to support a coworker coming out.
Course overview
Supporting a coworker coming out is not just the right thing to do, it's also a good business decision. If an LGBTQ+ employee leaves their job, it's typically because they're not supported by their employer or their coworkers. Ensuring that they're supported during this time can help the company retain this valued team member, along with their skills, experience, and knowledge. In this program, we'll discuss ways to champion a direct report who's chosen to come out. We'll also talk about providing support as a coworker.
