- Your Identities Play a Factor
- Your personal and social identities can influence your goals, career preparation, and your choice of employer. Your lived experiences and world view are an asset as an employee. Consider various factors that can help you narrow your options, such as:
♦ What work environment(s) encourage you to bring your whole self to work?
♦ When is an okay time to disclose a disability or invisible identity?
♦ How do I know if an environment is safe and inclusive?
♦ Will my new company offer health insurance for my domestic partner? Will it cover gender confirmation medical costs?
♦ How do I learn about the cultural climate of an organization? - Racial Identities
- Evaluate employers based on their commitment to racial equity and justice and how they demonstrate an inclusive work culture. Here are some resources to get you started:
