No Boxes, Just Belonging: Supporting Gender-Diverse and Nonbinary Workers

October 22, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT
Free
Young Team in Business Meeting

Workplaces that see gender identity in binary terms risk overlooking great talent and falling short on equity.

This webinar offers practical strategies to ensure gender-neutral policies, language, facilities and culture that affirm nonbinary, transgender, Two-Spirit and gender-diverse employees, with a focus on practical strategies for the electricity sector.

Why attend?

  • • Deepen your understanding of gender identity beyond the binary, including its legal recognition in Canada.
  • • Develop inclusive communication through thoughtful language, forms and messaging.
  • • Explore respectful practices around pronouns, chosen names and gender-affirming workwear.
  • • Review inclusive policies for facilities such as washrooms, PPE requirements and change rooms.
  • • Learn how to build allyship and reduce unconscious bias at every level in your organization.

Who should attend?

Anyone committed to fostering a workplace where everyone belongs, especially HR professionals, team leads and those shaping workplace culture and policy.

Let’s move beyond the binary toward belonging.
