Employment

Nonbinary people often experience significant discrimination and erasure in the workplace and while job-hunting. The majority of nonbinary employees remain closeted at their work.

It is recommended that employers take actions to show nonbinary inclusivity, such as:


 * editing documentation to utilize gender neutral language and singular they rather than using phrases like "his/her paycheck"
 * updating forms and software to allow more gender options than male and female, and offer gender-neutral honorifics such as Mx
 * allowing employees to list their pronouns on email signatures/name tags/etc
 * revising dress codes to eliminate gender-related restrictions, and "[r]eplace them with simplified instructions guided by principles of general professionalism."
 * revising anti-discrimination/anti-harassment policies to include nonbinary gender as a protected characteristic
 * providing one or more gender-neutral bathrooms
 * when appropriate (i.e. when it will not "single out" a trans/nonbinary employee), have people introduce themselves with their name and pronoun
