Transgender In The Workplace
Some transgender people who wish to disclose this truth about themselves to others have reached a breaking point in their lives where it’s too difficult to hide who they are any longer.
Transgender people often feel compelled to share who they are in order to build stronger and more authentic relationships with those closest to them. This is particularly true in the workplace, where we consistently spend a majority of our waking lives with other people.
A business that includes “gender identity” in its non-discrimination policy should be prepared to manage a gender transition.

Employers that areunprepared to handle a gender transition are likely to face not only employee relations issues but also discrimination claims.
