How do you handle pronouns changes at work? Changes may look like: 〰 Changing their pronouns between their job application and starting on their first day. I've seen this often at LGBTQIA+ inclusive orgs when candidates aren't sure whether they're safe enough to share neopronouns, non-binary pronouns, or mixed/rolling pronouns during the hiring process and then you earn their trust throughout the process and they end up disclosing after the process. 〰 Changing pronouns day-to-day or based on the environment they are in. This happens often for folks who use mixed/rolling pronouns. 〰 Changing their pronouns to align with a new gender identity or gender expression. 〰 Changing pronouns multiple times during a gender transition. This might look like shifting from she/her to they/them to they/he to he/him. 〰 Changing pronouns at any point because they feel like it! So how should you handle pronoun changes? 〰 Establish and communicate a policy on pronouns and pronouns changes. This can go alongside a chosen name policy and should provide guidance on how to make changes, update records, and options for informing colleagues.

If an employee consents, help them announce their pronoun change to the team as well. 〰 Ensure that HR records, email directories, name badges, and other systems are updated promptly to reflect pronoun changes.

This is so helpful! And an important conversation. The stress and emotional labour of communicating pronoun changes typically falls to the individual. Especially when it comes to making corrections! It can feel rude to interrupt and center oneself for this purpose. Especially for a new employee! Therefore, it may also help to establish (and model) norms where the team speaks up for one another to help with gentle corrections.

Not respecting pronouns and preferred names in the workplace can create a hostile work environment in the eyes of the law and is just generally a bad practice to allow to continue, even unintentionally. Last month, vacating summary judgment for the employer, a federal appeals court has ruled that while an occasional mistake using the incorrect name or pronouns will not create liability, misgendering an employee can be “severe and pervasive” enough to support a claim of hostile work environment under Title VII. Does your org have a policy to match the new interpretation/ruling on this topic? If you need consultative help in writing this policy, providing training to your managers, drafting more inclusive communications, or a gender neutral assessment of your documents, policies and programs, please use the link in my profile to connect. #IDEA #DEIConsultant #LGBTQRights #EmploymentLaw
