Enhance Your Firm’s Relationship with the LGBTQ Community!
The relationship between the LGBTQ community and the funeral services profession has historically been problematic, often due to stigma, oversight, and lack of education. Murphy and McLoone will demystify LGBTQ identities; identify common experiences of exclusion and generate practical strategies to reach and serve more effectively LGBTQ-identified clients and staff. Learn ways to ensure that LGBTQ community members within the profession and those served by the profession are equally supported with inclusivity and protection from discrimination.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand the prevalence and impact of LGBTQ discrimination within the profession
- Develop plans to identify and meet the LGBTQ market
- Better serve clients who are often disenfranchised in their grieving experiences
- Strengthen your ability to retain and support LGBTQ employees within your business
