Creating an LGBT+ Inclusive Workplace Reviews

In her first book, Kryss Shane created an invaluable resource to help schools become LGBTQ affirming environments. This time she is using her almost 30 years of experience and insight to transform workplaces. Although suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth, the highest suicide rate in the USA is among working-aged adults 45 - 60. One step towards reducing adult suicide is creating a workplace that affirms LGBTQ employees and parents of LGBTQ youth. While the June 2020 Supreme Court decision protecting LGBTQ workers under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was necessary, it was not sufficient to ensure workplaces were affirming environments. Shane's book meets this need and fills this gap.
-Dr. Jonathan Singer, President of the American Association of Suicidology

Let's get down to business: whether you are a current business leader, someone dreaming or planning to become a leader in your industry, an advocate, or a customer who supports businesses invested in LGBT+ inclusion, Kryss Shane consistently delivers as the most engaging go-to coach and educator on best practices for creating supportive and productive LGBT+ inclusive businesses and workplaces. Kryss' coaching and interactive key lessons, guidelines, and leadership challenges exploring how and why creating LGBT+ inclusive work life is good business practice presented here could not be timelier or more on the money.
