Transgender guidance


Sometimes a lack of awareness and understanding in relation to gender identity results in employers failing to support staff effectively; often they lack the knowledge and the confidence to do so.


New guidance, jointly published by Inclusive Employers and the Government Equalities Office, is designed to provide employers with advice on the recruitment and retention of trans employees.


Unions, staff support networks as well as recruiters may also find the guidance of interest.
