    “In our January meeting, Dr. Tom Segar, Vice President of Student Affairs at Shepherd University will speak on the top of “LGBTQ Issues in the Workplace: An Update for HR Managers.”  While progress has been made, many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people still worry that revealing their sexuality at work will have negative consequences.  What can business do to create a culture of inclusion?  Is there legislation you need to be aware of and/or follow? What are the most up-to-date terms you should be using? How can your company support these employees so they will be free from worry and able to focus on their work? What are forward-thinking companies and organizations doing in this arena, and what changes can you make?  Taking steps toward an inclusive workplace sends the message your business want progress and is serious about diversity. It’s also an important step in recognizing and retaining top talent, which SHRM research shows is  one of the most important issues facing Human Resources right now.  Join us as Dr. Segar provides answers these questions as well as insight and awareness on this topic and what we need to know to be effective Human Resource professionals.”
