Transgender, Gender Non-Conforming, and Non-Binary (TGNCNB) Training
Gender Solutions NY offers a unique opportunity to companies to train their staff in Transgender/ Gender Non-Conforming and Non-Binary Inclusion in your workplace, thus ensuring that your company is truly diverse and open to people of different gender expressions and identities. Despite a growing global awareness of the struggles TGNCNB people face, many employers remain ill-equipped to create the policies and workplace cultures that would support TGNCNB employees. Part of the problem is a lack of knowledge about these challenges. TGNCNB individuals are often stigmatized—that is, socially devalued—providing a basis for discrimination against them. Studies suggest that the costs of that stigma and discrimination are steep.
The ever-expanding TGNCNB community is developing its voice and impact in our society, even in the face of harassment and violence against it. By inviting your staff to participate in dynamic and interactive training around how to be culturally competent and welcoming with this population, you will be able to attract the highest level of talent to contribute their skills and brilliance to your business.
Gender Solution NY’s mission is to educate, empower, and enhance the lives of Transgender, Gender Non-conforming, and Non-binary individuals through advocacy, community visibility, human and social services, workforce readiness, and corporate training. Gender Solution NY’s corporate training program delivers effective, informative, and compelling programs by using a three-stage model that delivers relevant content through the lens of personal stories of transition in Corporate America.

Why Does Allyship Matter in the Workplace?
Promotes a Safe & Inclusive Work Environment
Transgender allyship in the workplace helps create a safe and inclusive work environment for everyone. Transgender employees may experience discrimination, harassment, and bias in the workplace, which can lead to a hostile work environment. Allyship helps create a culture of acceptance and support, which is essential for the well-being of all employees.
Supports Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives
Transgender allyship demonstrates a commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. By being an ally, you’re showing support for people who may be marginalized or underrepresented in the workplace. This sends a powerful message that everyone, regardless of gender identity, is valued and respected.
Attracts & Retains Top Talent
In today’s job market, employees are looking for companies that have a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. By promoting transgender allyship in the workplace, companies can attract and retain top talent who value these principles. This can lead to a more productive and innovative workforce, benefitting the company as a whole.
