A truly inclusive workplace embraces the full spectrum of gender identity. A well-defined gender identity policy is a fundamental step towards building a genuinely equitable and supportive work environment for every individual. It signals a commitment to diversity and demonstrates that your organisation values every employee's authentic self.

Research indicates:

• 1 in 4 transgender employees report experiencing discrimination in the past year.
• Over 50% of transgender individuals hide their gender identity at work for fear of negative repercussions.
• Workplace discrimination leads to higher rates of mental health challenges, including anxiety and depression, among gender minority individuals.

By introducing a gender identity policy, you can proactively create a space where all your employees feel free to be their authentic selves.
