Partnership to Host Untapped Talent Webinar on LGBTQ Inclusion on June 23
GREATER DES MOINES, IA (June 7, 2022) – The Greater Des Moines Partnership will host an Untapped Talent webinar on the topic of LGBTQ Inclusion on Thursday, June 23. The event will take place virtually from 1 – 2:30 p.m.
Attendees will learn about important LGBTQ identities, the difference between sex, gender and sexual orientation, current LGBTQ issues, and best practices for organizations to allow their LGBTQ employees to bring their true authentic selves to the workplace. The event will be hosted by One Iowa.
Attendees will gain the knowledge to help them build upon their inclusive language library in order to become more well-versed with language, policies and strategies for LGBTQ inclusion. This work will aid in building an employee retention strategy that cultivates an environment for workers to be more productive, experience overall greater job satisfaction and commitment, and stay in their jobs longer.
“Ensuring an inclusive and inviting workplace is a key strategy for talent attraction and retention,” said Dr. Marvin DeJear, Senior Vice President of Talent Development at The Partnership. “This event will provide employers with resources and discussions that will help them continue to build their relationships with their employees and understand the importance of creating an intentional approach to fulfilling the needs of their LGBTQ workforce.”
