Thanks for asking this question. We are also looking to strengthen our ability to support transitioning employees and these are great resources. We have official guidelines in place, but the ideas of in-person training and toolkits appear to be necessary and not something we have in hand yet.

I’m specifically interested in the in-person training. Who do you look to for that? Do you have your D&I Staff do that, or do you outsource it to experts you have found in your area? We are a a mid-size firm, so I’m not sure we’d be resourced to do this training ourselves, but if we could have ‘train the trainer’ sessions, perhaps that could change. Or if having experts in this field perform this training is best, I can see going that route, too.

Thanks!
