Trans-Affirming Workplaces eLearning (for P&C/Management)

Lead organisational change to create safe, respectful, and inclusive workplaces for trans and gender diverse employees

Trans and gender diverse people are part of every workforce, yet many still encounter misunderstanding, exclusion, or bias at work. For People & Culture and Management teams, the role goes beyond awareness — it’s about shaping policies, systems, and culture that actively protect and affirm employees of all genders. Without the right knowledge, frameworks, and leadership commitment, even well‑intentioned workplaces can unintentionally perpetuate barriers to safety, wellbeing, and career progression.

This eLearning equips HR, People & Culture, and management leaders with the insight and tools to drive meaningful organisational change. You’ll gain a deep understanding of trans and gender diverse communities, learn how to address bias, and develop strategies to integrate trans‑affirming practices into recruitment, onboarding, workplace culture, and policy.

Developed by LGBTQ+ subject matter experts and enriched with lived‑experience stories from community members, the training blends practical guidance with real‑world examples to help you lead with confidence, influence organisational culture, and ensure compliance with best‑practice standards.
