On a daily basis, employers are charged to understand and protect the special circumstances of particular workers. Perhaps in no circumstance is this task more necessary than in the instance of an employer who is transitioning gender in the workplace.

This program introduces the gender expression in the context of workplace communities, specifically detailing how an employer can relate to gender expression and offer protections to those worker for the benefits of the individuals transitioning, as well as their co-workers.

With a deep dive in the current state of federal and local regulation bolstered by an analysis of current trends in diversity and inclusion principles, this recently-revised program offers a unique combination of practical strategic and tactical recommendations for employers to utilize in the development of HR policies and practices related to gender expression in the workplace.
