Gender Identity and Expression in Employment

Speaker: Anthony Panacci

Date: May 15, 2019

This webinar will distinguish the often-confused terms of “sex”, “gender”, “gender identity”, “gender expression”, and “sexual orientation”. This webinar will also cover related rights and legal obligations, including:

• the right to freedom from discrimination and harassment
• the duty to investigate, and
• the duty to accommodate.

Our speaker, Anthony Panacci, will also discuss best practices to assist you with maintaining an inclusive workplace.
