Policies, Handbooks, & Company Culture

Like us, we're sure you believe that all people should be treated fairly and equally. That’s why it’s so shocking to realize that in this day and age, it is actually still legal under our state’s laws to fire a hardworking employee, deny them an apartment, deny them service in a restaurant, and otherwise discriminate against people simply because they’re gay or transgender. In the absence of inclusive anti-discrimination laws, it is up to individual businesses and organizations to enact anti-discrimination policies and establish company cultures that are truly inclusive.

1. Our company or organization explicitly protects against discrimination in employment and services on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, including on applications.
1.a. If you answered NO on Statement #1, are you willing and able to update your company policies?

2. Even when policies exist, or are mandated by law, subtle discrimination can still seep into a company's culture. We affirm that we are committed to radical inclusion, making welcoming space for people of all abilities and disabilities, being proactively anti-racist, boldly recognizing the strengths of people of all faiths or no religious affiliation. Because we know that a space that is not safe for a trans black woman, or a gay man in a wheelchair, or a Muslim genderqueer person is not truly an inclusive space for the LGBTQ+ community.
3. We affirm the right of all people of all genders and abilities to safe, unobstructed use of restroom/locker room facilities.
3.a. Our business or organization has a plan in place to confront any harassment and address any obstructions with restroom/locker room usage.
3.b. All single-user restrooms/locker rooms display gender neutral signage.

Examples of gender neutral signage.

Training & Education

The GLO Center offers a variety of trainings and can tailor them to fill the right gaps and increase your cultural competency and overall effectiveness. Trainings range from 30 mins to 90 mins typically, depending on the setting and desired outcomes, and are billed at $250/hour for for-profit companies and $100/hour for non-profits. A limited number of scholarships are available which can reduce or cover the cost. We don’t want cost to be a barrier, while we value our time and expertise.

4. Our staff has undergone LGBTQ+ cultural competency training provided by The GLO Center or other approved source within the last 3 years.
4.a. If you answered Yes on Statement #4, please state the date of that training.
4.b. If you answered Yes on Statement #4, please state who conducted the training and what percentage of your current staff and/or volunteers and board, approximately, took part.
4.c. If you answered No on Statement #4, are you willing to undergo a training?
