Join us as speaker Nitin Deckha reinforces the business case for gender and transgender inclusion in the workplace, with particular focus on the manufacturing sector. This session will assist HR and business professionals in building robust gender and transgender inclusion policies and processes that:
1. Go beyond a compliance focus
2. Respond to labour shortages by attracting new recruits
3. Enhance workplace innovation
Nitin will begin with an examination of gender socialization, and the psychological and cultural dimensions of gender bias. We will explore transgender identities and expressions, and reviews the Ontario Human Rights Code before moving on to case studies from manufacturing firms and other male-dominated fields to demonstrate how HR professionals can foster effective gender and transgender inclusion in workplaces.
