Description
The Intermediate Gender Diversity course consists of brief video clips explaining the common (and often invisible) cultural barriers that transgender people face in most organizations. In this course, employees learn practical ways to support their transgender co-workers through active allyship and avoid inadvertent harm (microaggressions, jokes, and invasive questions). It is interspersed with reflection surveys and quizzes to assess comprehension. It takes about one to two hours to complete.
Please only register for this course if you have previously completed the Gender Diversity Basics online training course.

He uses exploratory, evidence-based methods and quantitative and qualitative tools—like interviews, surveys, systems reviews and spatial analyses—to develop solutions that create real, measurable change.
