Inclusion Paradox Sightings
Harvard Public Policy School Leader Asks, “Is Transgender on Your Agenda?”
Amanda Simpson’s appointment as Senior Technical Advisor to the Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security making her the first ever transgender presidential appointee raises questions about how ready businesses and other organizations are to broaden their inclusiveness tent.
See what Loren Gary, Associate Director for Leadership Development and Public Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Center for Public Leadership, has to say in his blog posting, “Is Transgender on Your Agenda?”
The reality is that very, very few organizations are ready. Not only is more diversity training and crosscultural competence needed around this topic where there are transgender workers, but HR and workplace policies and procedures need to be put in place to avoid the kind of vitriol and dehumanizing humor we are seeing in response to Amanda Simpson’s appointment.
Do you have a story of an organization managing this diversity issue effectively?
