Our Sessions Move You in the Right Direction!

For nearly 10 years, TransFocus has been providing hundreds of organizations with education and strategies to unlock the places where transgender people get stuck at work. We have educated over 25,000 employees and conducted research among 15,000 people across many different industries and sizes of companies.

Improve Culture through Education

Starting at $2,500, we offer 3 levels of education with 2 that are for all employees and one that is for managers and leaders. Each session is 1.5 hours in duration, can be either in-person and/or virtual, and includes tailored content, recording with 1 year license, no cap on attendees, and high-quality workbooks to deepen learning.

Choose among 3 levels of on-demand education, including:

  • Gender Diversity Basics (GDB): For all levels of employees and is focused on language, context, and respectful interactions among people we are meeting for the first time. This course is available in English and French.

  • Intermediate Gender Diversity (IGD): For all levels of employees and covers information about how to intervene when transgender people we know face challenges from others, such as hurtful jokes, invasive questions, unrealistic expectations, and microaggressions. This course entails concrete tips and tools about when to step up and when to step back.

  • Gender Diversity for Managers (GDM): This session covers specific responsibilities managers have to transgender employees before, during, and after coming out as transgender at work.
