LGBT – Does the Term Scare You?

From the armed forces to the private sector, the sexual discrimination claims filed by LGBTQIA employees have been reviewed with avid interest by federal courts, showing their support for EEOC’s stance on the matter. Employers, however, are wary on the subject.

Am I likely to be hit by a lawsuit? Do I have any LGBTQIA employees to worry about? These are perhaps not the right questions, at least if they are the only questions in your arsenal. Is my workplace in compliance with EEOC’s mandates? Are my employees trained on the subject as they should be? These questions would probably set you in the right direction.
