Overview

In our series of four guides on supporting non-binary and transgender equality in the workplace, we look at the key steps that employers can take to ensure that non-binary and transgender employees feel supported at work and free to bring their full selves to work. We provide practical guidance on how employers can foster an inclusive culture, recruit, progress and retain non-binary and transgender employees, encourage effective performance and minimise the potential for discrimination.

In this guide, we explain the terminology regarding gender identity. This is the first guide in our series on supporting non-binary and transgender diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace:

• Supporting non-binary and transgender employees: Creating an inclusive workplace
• Supporting non-binary and transgender employees: Supporting an employee who is transitioning
