16 November is International Tolerance Day; a moment to
reflect on what employers can do to understand the needs of their
trans and non-binary members of staff.
Trans and non-binary issues are one of the fastest-developing
areas of law in many places around the world. With more and more
countries introducing third legal gender options, and increasing
awareness of (and press attention on) trans and non-binary issues,
it's critical that employers bear in mind the needs and
rights of their trans employees.
We do recognise that the position is not the same for all
countries in our global alliance and that the positive steps set
out in this article may not currently be consistent with the law
and/or current practice in some countries. However, in publishing
this article today, we embrace the spirit of celebrating diversity
and tolerance on International Tolerance Day.
