Summary:Because of bias, insensitivity, prejudice and fear, members of this community have often been unable to show their authentic selves in the workplace. If you're a SHRM member and are not sure where to begin, see our recently posted how-to guide on How to Develop a Diversity and Inclusion Initiative. * Begin to support or follow programs of research examining issues and trends related to and of importance to the LGBT community. * Become more familiar with LGBT issues and interests by reading posts and blogs online or by attending events such as the SHRM Diversity & Inclusion Conference & Exposition in October. * Build an LGBT community of interest or networking program at your workplace. * Promote open dialogue and discussion in your workplace around issues related to diversity and inclusion. * Ensure that your organization has a no-tolerance policy regarding discrimination of any kind, and make attendance in anti-harassment training mandatory.
