About
Trans employees face distinct challenges in the workplace which can differ significantly from lesbian, gay and bi experiences.
These challenges can range from those around physical spaces, such as gendered facilities, to direct discrimination and harassment based on gender identity. Creating a trans-inclusive work environment benefits all employees. It enables and supports trans employees to be themselves in the workplace, ensuring organisations benefit from the experience of this diverse community, while also promoting acceptance and building knowledge among employees who do not identify as trans.
For the last two years, Stonewall has asked trans-inclusion questions in the Workplace Equality Index. These provided a baseline assessment of the work being done by organisations across Britain and allowed us to produce a series of best practice resources for employers.
