Marriage Equality Nationwide: What your company needs to know now.
Wednesday, October 7, 2015 at 11:00 AM–12:30 PM CDT
Grand Ballroom DE (Featured Panel)
Workshop Description
Winning marriage equality was one of the most significant moments in our movement’s history but how will this affect your company? What should your ERG be advocating for? What’s next for the LGBT movement? This panel will discuss the complexities of LGBT workplace equality after the legalization of gay marriage nationally. We’ll cover best practices in domestic partner benefits, how this will affect your employees who work in states without workplace discrimination protections, and how this momentous win in civil rights can shape your company’s policy and your ERG’s goals. We’ll talk about lessons learned in the movement and why workplace equality is our next big fight.
