Pride Workplace Training – Pride Workplace Training

2SLGBTQI+ Inclusion

Three Part Program

At HR Proactive, we know that meaningful employee training is essential to building an inclusive workplace culture where everyone feels safe, respected, and supported in their growth.

Our Pride Workplace Training helps employees develop a deeper understanding of 2SLGBTQI+ identities and how to foster a genuinely supportive work environment. The program encourages self-awareness and authentic interaction, empowering employees to contribute to a culture rooted in respect, equity, and inclusion.

Part 1: Understanding 2SLGBTQI+ Experiences and Challenging Bias

Participants will explore the historical and lived experiences of 2SLGBTQI+ individuals, gaining insight into the roots of societal bias, including homophobia, transphobia, myths, stereotypes, and systemic heterosexism.

This section emphasizes how these harmful narratives continue to influence workplace perceptions and behaviours today. By building awareness and empathy, employees are better equipped to recognize bias and contribute to a more respectful and inclusive work environment.

Part 2: Inclusive Language and Respectful Communication

This part focuses on the power of language in shaping respectful and inclusive interactions. Participants will learn about key terminology, inclusive language practices, and the significance of using correct pronouns.

Understanding these elements is essential for creating a workplace where all employees feel acknowledged and respected. The goal is to equip staff with practical communication tools they can use to demonstrate allyship and prevent exclusion through everyday language.

Part 3: Practicing Allyship and Creating Safer Workplaces

In the final section, employees will examine what it means to be an active ally to 2SLGBTQI+ colleagues. The focus is on real-world actions that foster psychological safety and belonging, including speaking up against discriminatory behaviour, supporting inclusive initiatives, and contributing to a culture of respect.

This part provides tangible strategies for employees at all levels to take responsibility for inclusion and create safer spaces at work.
