Laura Maechtlen quoted in Business Insurance, “Lesbian, gay, transgender workers increasingly protected by bias policies”

Laura Maechtlen was quoted in a February 1 story from Business Insurance on the growing number of U.S. employers expanding their nondiscrimination policies to include lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees. Maechtlen said she has advised clients to establish clear guidelines for supervisors and human resources professionals “outlining how they should respond and what their responsibilities are in the event that an employee comes forward and announces that they plan to transition genders.”
