Creating welcoming businesses: practical strategies for LGBTQIA+ inclusion

Join the Oxford St Rainbow Precinct for a practical, interactive workshop exploring simple ways small businesses can create more inclusive workplaces, customer experiences and community connections. 

Facilitated by executive coach and Rainbow Precinct President Shane Warren, this session will explore how to confidently engage with LGBTQIA+ customers and colleagues, create inclusive employment opportunities, communicate authentically, and avoid common pitfalls and tokenistic approaches. 

Through discussion, real-world examples and interactive activities, you’ll identify practical changes you can make in your own business – from small everyday actions to longer-term opportunities to build a more inclusive workplace and customer experience. 

Whether you’re new to LGBTQIA+ inclusion or looking to build on what you’re already doing, you’ll leave with practical ideas, useful tools and actions you can put into practice straight away.
