What should employers do to ensure compliance with the new provisions of the LAD (Law Against Discrimination) with regards to the civil rights of GLBT employees? Nevarez is the state's lead trainer focusing on antidiscrimination and ensuring diversity and equal employment opportunity. The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, which was the nation's first statewide civil rights enforcement statute, is widely considered the strongest of its kind in the nation. Presenter: Esther Nevarez, Community Relations Coordinator, New Jersey Department of Law & Public Safety, Division on Civil Rights, http://www.nj.gov/oag/dcr/; The New Jersey State Law Against Discrimination states that organizations and agents which provide the public with employment, housing and public accommodations are obligated to display New Jersey’s Anti-Discrimination Posters. Failure to display the required posters is punishable by law. Posters must be displayed in locations easily visible to all employees and applicants for employment, all prospective tenants and purchasers, all persons seeking or using the accommodations. Please read through the table available at http://www.state.nj.us/lps/dcr/posters.html#posters to see which posters you need to display. Note:You may fall under more than one category. Posters dated 1/07 or later contain the most recent changes to the law, and meet posting requirements. Posters include: Employment, Public Accommodation, Family Leave Act and Housing are available for downloading at: http://www.state.nj.us/lps/dcr/posters.html In our effort to ensure that employers operating in New Jersey have the tools to make their work environments inclusive and diverse workplaces that are free from unlawful discrimination against sexual and gender minorities, the Division on Civil Rights ("Division" or "DCR") has developed this free comprehensive book called Getting the E.D.G.E. in Compliance: Equality and Diversity for GLBT Employees, which includes a voluntary checklist and guidance for employers focusing on legal compliance and suggested diversity best practices in the employment of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) employees.
