Needs assessment
Every organization we work with is different, and we love to start by building connection and gaining understanding. In this free intake call, we’ll assess where you’re organization is currently at in terms of accessibility for trans, non-binary, and Two-Spirit employees and clients, offer recommendations on potential areas for growth and change, and explore how we can best be of service as you work towards improving workplace experiences for people of all genders.
Training
Gender Diversity in the Workplace
Strong Practices for Supporting Trans, Non-Binary, & Two-Spirit Clients and Colleagues
Delivered online or in-person, this training is a great place to start for organizations who are in the beginning phases of learning about gender diversity, and how gender-validating practices will improve service provision, staff engagement and retention, and community relationships.
We’ll start by introducing a framework identifying barriers and for understanding gender beyond the binary. Then, we’ll offer examples of gender-affirming workplace practices, and explore strategies for applying these learnings on a personal, relational, and systemic level. Participants will gain clarity about how to create a positive and affirming culture at your workplace. This intro training will complement your efforts towards building welcoming and respectful environments for people of all genders.

Policy Analysis
Your company’s policies will both inform and reflect what’s happening on the ground. It’s important that you’ve got clarity about your vision and values, and that you’re able to clearly communicate them to your staff and clients. Opting to review your policies and procedures shows your commitment to ensuring that your company’s “voice” is consistent.
We suggest policy review in conjunction with a training session to ensure that changes on paper translate to changes in the real world.
Strategic Visioning
For some of you, your team has already made the commitment to be an inclusive space, and has a solid understanding of trans, non-binary, and Two-Spirit experiences and needs – but, you’ve hit the road block of how to turn your intentions into reality. You’re no longer in the place of wondering whether you’ll adopt gender-affirming policies and practices. Now, the question is how.
We’ll break down your vision into manageable and realistic steps, identify potential challenges that may arise, and develop an accountability plan to ensure your organization has integrity and stays true to its commitments.
Website & Communications Review
One of the most important pillars of a successful organization is how you let the world know about the work that you do. Language, particularly around gender diversity, is evolving fast, and it’s important to stay up to speed in order to maintain relevant and respectful messaging.
Through a website and/or communications review, you’ll be able to align what you are doing with what you are communicating to the world.
