Trans Inclusion and Allyship in the Workplace Training with Dr. Sand Chang

This 1-hour training was designed with the intention to equip managers and employees with foundational knowledge and skills that will support trans employees and trans-inclusive work environments. This training is based on fostering increasing humility and the capacity to connect within diverse groups in order to move through growing pains and cultivate a greater sense of confidence, trust, and safety.

Through this training, participants will:

  • Increase awareness of their own gender socialization and related biases

  • Learn basic knowledge of trans and/or nonbinary communities

  • Understand how trans inclusion is relevant to the workplace

  • Learn basic skills for respectful interactions, including affirming language

  • Learn skills for recovery and repair when mistakes happen

  • Increase awareness of key elements that can contribute to inclusive built environments and digital practices

 

Hiring me to provide this training typically includes:

  • Setting up a 30-minute video or phone meeting among key stakeholders in order to discuss your organization’s specific needs, gaps, and growth edges (ideally at least 2-3 months before your desired training date).

  • Collaborating on logistics such as scheduling, payment, and structure (2-3 months before your desired training date).

  • Creating communications to distribute to employees/groups who are invited to attend (typically 1-2 months before training date).

  • My recommendations of relevant pre-work (reading, videos) so that participants can familiarize themselves with introductory material and make the most out of the live training session (typically 2 weeks before training date)

  • Live training with a typical structure of 45 minutes of presentation/content and 15 minutes of Q&A/discussion. Most trainings contain brief breakout sessions and experiential exercises.

  • Optional: If you would like to offer this training via recording, there is an additional fee. I record the training and make it available on Vimeo for a specified/limited period of time (e.g., 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months).
