1. Use the correct terminology around gender identity
The correct use of terminology is essential to communicate respect and to create a space for dialogue for non-binary and transgender experiences.
Employers should adopt gender-neutral language, where possible.
Where transgender employees express a preference regarding terminology, the employer should respect their wishes.
2. Take steps to create an inclusive workplace
Employers should take proactive action to encourage inclusivity rather than waiting for an issue to arise.
An inclusive workplace is one where all employees are recognised, valued and supported, regardless of their gender identity, and where barriers that prevent people from feeling respected and being treated fairly are removed.
