The values of equity, diversity and integration are the core of desjardin activities. Because the team first belongs to their members, without exception, like them or which are. Here are some good procedures that you can encourage your professional environment to be admitted.
Offering a collective insurance scheme adapted to different realities is the value of each member of your team rare. The stability and peace of mind provided by the regime of collective insurance are the criteria that could be considered in search of jobs after competing salary and flexibility of the schedule.
The proposed coverage must take into account that the individual needs of health care vary depending on a number of factors, including age, family condition, level of physical activity -as well as gender identities and sexual orientation.
Here are two examples of offers adapted to the common challenges in the LGBTQ+community:
Focus
A few of the same sex, transgender people and a lone parent must also have the opportunity to establish or expand their family. Desjardins Assurans meets this need with its Focus family program, which offers full and inclusive coverage of certain costs during fertility procedures. Future parents can also benefit from tailor -made support during their life project.
Gender confirmation
A person who experiences a significant need because his gender identity felt, does not correspond to the sex of assigned birth, might want to turn to medical interventions to feel good about himself. This approach is specific to each individual. Confirmation of the Desjardins Assuraranes offer, which is complemented by public schemes, sets a payment of various eligible costs such as Adam Apple operation and removal of laser hair. Support members of your team while accessing gender, which often lasts for months, even years to make all the required changes and medical procedures to enforce gender for Trans people who will continue with health changes or procedures. When someone in your team is doing this long way, lightens their daily life by working on the planning plan in the workplace.
This document will be invited to evolve along the road, but should provide all name changes or pronouns to be made (eg: E -mail address, wage services, names, etc.) and the date from which the person presents himself under his assertive identity. Follow the rhythm of a person without rushing or imposing a plan. This must remain the only lady of the speed at which she wants to make (or not) changes.
“Design a sticker or rainbow flag to express your support to the LGBTQ+community. Accompany this symbol of specific actions …”
Pay special attention to pronoun
To say “sir” instead of “Madam” to someone who identifies himself as a woman, turns out to be harmful, even if it is unintentional. If you have doubts about the sex of a person, start your interactions using a neutral language or just ask how to contact them.
Encourage your colleagues to give their choice of pronouns in their e -mail signature, their business card and their identification badge. General acceptance of this practice – which is common in desjardins – helps to avoid the isolation of Trans people and strengthens the climate of respect.
View colors
Install a sticker or rainbow flag to express the LGBTQ+community support. Accompany this symbol of specific actions such as support for major events such as International Day Against Homophobia and Transfobia. It is also possible to set up a Committee for Diversity and inclusion (EDI), organize awareness and inclusive mentor events. You can also offer diversity and integration training, as well as desjards with partners, such as the Emersence and Pride Foundation Foundation in Work Canada. Distributed their job offers in specialized professional networks, such as Queert, determine that your organization appreciates diversity and integration.
Listen
The word says: Diversity is diversified. Encourage curiosity and desire to learn more about the smallest nuances of the LGBTQ+ community in your organization. But I also accept that it is not possible to know everything, that every individual is unique and that his reality is the same much.
Cultivate humility and openness by asking the person himself. How does he want to be called? What objects do not approach? There is always a way from man to people to talk and be kindness.
