Hiring a Trans or Non-Binary Applicant: What Employers Should Know in Advance

Questions arise about applications, references, background checks, and how to proceed respectfully without making assumptions—or mistakes. This free, interactive TransFocus webinar helps employers prepare ahead of time so they aren’t reacting on the fly. Through anonymous polls and facilitated discussion, we’ll walk through common scenarios and practical ways to handle them smoothly and professionally.
