It’s important to know what rights your employees have when it comes to transgender rights in the workplace.
Transgender (trans) is an umbrella term to describe people whose gender is different from their birth sex.
Gender is not a protected characteristic in the Equality Act 2010, but gender reassignment, sex and sexual orientation are.
You may have some questions about the rights of trans people. Do transgender people have different rights? How can we help someone who is transitioning?
We’ve got the answers to make sure your company treats transgender people fairly and in line with the law.
This guide will explore the terms you need to understand, the legal framework and how you can support your staff to make your workplace more trans inclusive.
We hope you find it useful and it helps your business to support your employees better.
