The Problem
Trans people often experience stigma and discrimination, hostility, and pressure to “manage” their identities in social settings, including the workplace.
Why It Occurs
Despite a growing global awareness of these struggles, many employers remain ill-equipped to develop policies and workplace cultures that support trans employees.
What to Do
Research and interviews or surveys of more than 1,000 trans people suggest four things companies can do: adopt basic practices of trans inclusivity involving bathroom use, dress codes, and pronouns; support gender transitions; develop trans-specific diversity trainings; and utilize resiliency interventions.
