Baker Donelson has launched Firm-wide training on the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) community, continuing our commitment to foster an inclusive environment for all employees. This training is being led by the Firm’s Diversity Consultant, Peggy Nagae.
The primary objectives of the Firm’s GLBT training are three-fold: 1) to foster an understanding of the importance of GLBT diversity and inclusion in order to maintain a productive and inclusive workforce; 2) to recruit and retain a talented workforce; and 3) to achieve the Firm’s strategic goals.
A related but not-so-recent change at our Firm can be found in our employee health care benefits, which are available to domestic partners.
Tammy Reeves is in the Nashville office of Baker Donelson. She is the Firm’s Diversity Coordinator and is assistant to Mark Baugh, shareholder and Chair of the Diversity Committee.
