Elsevier Pride Virtual Panel discussion
2020-05-07 16:00 - 17:00 (Europe/London)
Timezone: CEST Amsterdam, Berlin, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna

Elsevier Pride invites you to attend a panel discussion where we will discuss the implications of COVID-19 on the LGBTQI community.

What are the implications of Covid-19 for people with HIV? Are people who are HIV+ while on medication lead to higher risks to Covid-19? Is there any evidence that HIV antivirals might actually have some positive effect against Covid-19? Does the aging population of HIV+ with related health issues (cardiovascular e.g.) have a higher risk profile?

In the gay community, there are conflicting stories how to handle casual sex during Corona. Time to dispel the myths……..

The panelists include:

Peter Reiss (Professor of Medicine, Department of Global Health, Amsterdam UMC, University of Amsterdam)Peter Hayward (Editor in Chief, The Lancet HIV)Kees Brinkman (Internist, OLVG hospital Amsterdam)Sebastiaan Verboeket (PhD candidate, Amsterdam Medical Center)

You are invited to a Zoom webinar.

Our generation fought for basic rights; your generation expects them hosted by Young@WorkplacePride

What is the next step for LGBTI inclusion in the workplace: a conversation between experience groups hosted by Young@WorkplacePride

In the third event of our “Keeping Members Connected” series, Young@WorkplacePride invites you to share your thoughts about what the future of LGBTI+ inclusion looks like in the workplace:

What do we expect from our workplaces? Is the use of policies and symbolism enough? Do we rely more on the use of stories and role models of that LGBTI executive that made it to the board of the company? Or both? Is that enough to guarantee inclusion or do we need to go a few layers deeper? And if so, what is it then to make us all feel included?

Objectives:

In a recent conversation, someone who has around 20 years of experience, accurately mused to one of our Young@Workplace Pride Board members, “Our generation fought for basic rights; your generation expects them.” So the question is: What do we expect from our workplaces? Is it the use of policies and symbolism, such as the Dutch Railways changing their address to people from “Dear Ladies/Gentlemen” to “Dear Travelers”? Or do we rely more on the use of stories and role models of that LGBTI executive that made it to the board of the company? Or both? Is that enough to guarantee inclusion or do we need to go a few layers deeper? And if so, what is it then to make us all feel included? We’ll begin with an introduction that dives a bit more into the development of this topic and purpose of this workshop to contextualize and trigger the interest for all. Attendees will break out into groups with 0-5 and 5+ working experience, led by our teams. Within the session, we aim to put a short break for them to reflect and provide their views. Afterward, we would then like to discuss those and make a comparison between the experience groups.

2020-04-22 13:00 - 14:00
In the second event of our “Keeping Members Connected” series, we will be guiding you through the features and workflow of our newly re-designed website.

Workplace Pride UN LGBTI Standards ToolkitLGBTI Workplace Resources libraryOrganisational Employee SurveyContact Directory for Workplace Pride Members

and other resources that will help our members better engage with the Foundation and each other.

Objectives:

This webinar will introduce our members and other stakeholders to the new Workplace Pride website. It will help them learn to navigate the additional functionality, especially for members who will have a wide range of new possibilities to support their LGBTI workplace inclusion efforts.

The webinar will include an open discussion in the last section allowing participants to exchange ideas and even suggest improvements. Within the new working reality that we are all facing due to the COVID-19 crisis, we are hopeful that the new Workplace Pride Website will help organisations and the LGBTI community begin to think out of the box for the future of our movement.
