Charting the Path to Equality: myGwork's Trans Inclusion Guide for Employers

myGwork's Trans Inclusion Guide for Employers brings together education and action to help support companies in creating a welcoming environment for trans and gender non-conforming people.

From the basics to more advanced information, the guide exists to provide context and understanding of trans experiences. Featuring useful details on allyship, statistics revealing the current treatment of trans employees, and what language to use and avoid.

Recent research revealed that 65% of trans people choose not to reveal their gender identity at work, with 53% believing that trans people experience more barriers to progressing to senior positions than cisgender people. Workplaces need to be visible and active in their allyship to the trans community, work can be stressful enough without having to deny and suppress one’s gender identity.

Creating a safe and supportive workplace is crucial to attracting and retaining employees who feel valued and respected within their place of work. Moreover, employees who have come out in safe environments contribute more to the business than closeted employees in a hostile one as they have more trust, loyalty, job satisfaction, and are more productive in their role.

This guide is one part of the work myGwork undertakes with businesses in pushing forward LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion. It will be used alongside training, workshops, e-learning modules, and more to help educate and change workplace culture for the better.

“Everyone deserves to feel safe and supported in the workplace,” Adrien Gaubert, CMO and co-founder at myGwork, explains. “It is vital that all organizations are taking steps to ensure they are showing up for their trans employees. We hope that this guide will provide the foundation of knowledge needed to empower employers to make lasting changes and move them forward on their diversity and inclusion journey.”
