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<ref name="FP">{{Cite web |title=An Update On Nonbinary Gender Designations In The Workplace |author= |work=Fisher Phillips |date=2 July 2020 |access-date=23 September 2020 |url= https://www.fisherphillips.com/resources-newsletters-article-an-update-on-nonbinary-gender-designations-in}}</ref> | |||
* providing one or more gender-neutral [[bathrooms]] | |||
