Trainings

GenderPAC's Workplace Fairness Program offers a series of on-site and at-a-distance HR-oriented workshops and trainings to support companies and employee groups in changing their Equal Employment Opportunity policies to ensure full equality for employees, regardless of their gender.  We also offer training modules focused on male-on-male sexual harassment, legal developments related to gender in the workplace, transitioning on the job, and can create custom trainings to fit your company's specific needs.

The first and oldest organization providing such trainings, GenderPAC has trained more than 2,000 managers, human resources professionals, attorneys and employees at major corporations like Citigroup, IBM, and JPMorganChase since 1999.

Our trainings and workshops include:

Gender On The Job: The New Edge of Workplace Fairness
Gender in the new workplace is changing.  No longer a concern only for transgender employees, workplace issues about gender now include a "butch" lesbian who prefers sport coats to dresses, a gay man derided by male coworkers as too "flamboyant," or a genderqueer teen who refuses to do any specific gender.  If gender is the new frontier, workplaces are the new frontlines.  Gender on the Job is an in-depth training in gender stereotypes and gender identity and expression as diversity issues. Taking a wide-angle view of gender on the job, the workshop  familiarizes participants with background, language, core concepts, and key legal developments.

 

Male on Male Sexual Harassment: An Emerging Issue
One in seven new sexual harassment cases reported to the EEOC is now male-on-male: double the rate from just ten years ago and growing quickly.  In one widely reported case, Babies "R" Us was fined $205,000 for a category of claim that didn't even exist two decades ago.  How is this sort of harassment tied intimately to sexual orientation and gender identity and expression harassment?  Learn what your company needs to know about this emerging area of liability and what they can do about it. 

Gender and the Law
What are the newest developments in gender law? What is my company’s exposure? For legal and HR professionals, a survey of key laws and rulings, plus introductions to language, background, and gender diversity issues.

Transitioning On The Job
How does a transgender person transition? How should you react? Covers all aspects of workplace transitions -- pronouns, bathrooms, clients, etc., with overviews of language, law, and diversity and sensitivity issues.
