2015 Out & Equal Workplace Summit

We hear stories from around the globe about the conflicts that typically arise between religious and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender identities in society at large. In the workplace, these conflicts manifest in lots of ways: from uncomfortable conversations to overt discrimination. The resulting assumption is that these conflicts are inevitable.

Mark E. Fowler of the Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding and Jean-Marie Navetta of PFLAG National will unpack this assumption, identifying the misconceptions and oversimplifications that too often derail constructive conversations about this topic and result in blame shifting. The session will strive to provide participants with the parameters and possibilities for what can be done to mitigate conflicts and create cultures of inclusion for everyone at work, regardless of how employees identify.
