Despite recent advances in LGBT legal rights, few workplaces are fully inclusive and welcoming for their LGBT employees. Jessica Halem was hired to lead Harvard Medical School in developing sustainable structures of inclusion to respond to the needs of students, faculty, trainees and staff. Learn how Halem’s engagement with stakeholders, departments and hospitals has created meaningful change at Harvard Medical School and can act as an example for other organizations. In this session, participants will learn: Who makes up the LGBT community? What are everyday acts of inclusion that can be implemented right away? How do you go beyond parties and t-shirts to ensure real change for years to come?
