Celebrating LGBTQ+ Awareness Month
The session focuses on Transgender & Nonbinary colleagues as being part of the LGBTQ+ community, as they get less airtime and can be less understood.
The session aims to:
- Raise awareness of Transgender & Nonbinary colleagues and the challenges they face today
- Help us understand what our responsibilities are to avoid isolation & discrimination
- Give practical guidance on how to embrace Transgender & Nonbinary colleagues to ensure inclusion and they feel part of our hospitality family
