As evidenced by recent headlines, the subject of LGBT rights arises in a variety of contexts and provokes strong reactions. This discussion is also happening in the workplace, causing employers to be more cognizant of their evolving obligations under recent statutory laws, constitutional mandates, and court decisions.

A 2012 Gallup poll* found that 3.4% of Americans identify as LGBT. As employees disclose their sexual orientation in the workplace, adopting non-discrimination policies, legally-compliant benefit plans and other inclusive practices that recognize LGBT workers is becoming essential for businesses to compete for talent and customers.

Join Dinsmore attorneys for a discussion on what you can do to be proactive, promote a workplace free of discrimination and harassment, and possibly avoid litigation.

In our complimentary 90-minute presentation, you’ll learn more about:

  • The evolution of anti-discrimination law in its application to the LGBT community including review of cases currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.
  • The practical implications for employers of the legal recognition of same-sex marriage including employment policies that should be updated.
  • Best practices for employers to stay ahead of the changing legal landscape.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn from these skilled and knowledgeable employment attorneys.
