Transgender Inclusion: Allyship at Work
By Tash Wilder
"The previous post in this series outlines how organizations can proactively foster trans inclusive work cultures through policies, benefits and processes. This post discusses how people within organizations can act as allies."
"With the International Transgender Day of Visibility right around the corner (March 31), it’s an ideal time to reflect on what visibility means for trans and non-binary people at work. If we imagine an ideal work world, being visibly trans or non-binary at work would be a safe option associated with positive outcomes. Trans and non-binary employees would have access to healthcare options that served their needs, would feel respected for their perspectives, and would have equal access to promotions and leadership opportunities. In an ideal work world, being trans or non-binary would be viewed as an asset, with the understanding that our differences are what makes us stronger as organizations. However, the reality is often starkly different from this vision."
