Recommendation

In the past few years, organizational diversity has been in the spotlight. Companies in Silicon Valley and beyond have struggled to be inclusive of all their employees and clients. The activist group Scottish Trans Alliance recommends adding gender identity to the mix, and offers guidance on how employers and service providers can better include nonbinary people. getAbstract recommends this systematic guide to human resources professionals and managers interested in creating diverse organizations.

Take-Aways

  • “Nonbinary” people don’t see themselves as men or women. Instead, their gender may be “in-between or beyond the two categories.”
  • Many nonbinary people hesitate to be open about their identity and fear discrimination.
  • Service providers and workplaces can better include nonbinary people by educating people on transgender issues, including an “other” gender option on forms, using people’s preferred names and pronouns, and providing gender-neutral facilities.
