- Transgender-friendly work policies are in the minority in Hong Kong. However, as the number of transgender employees who are “coming out” is gradually increasing, employers need to review and refresh their policies, practices and procedures to ensure an inclusive working environment for all.
- As company cultures evolve, diversity and inclusion have proven to be key differentiators for successful businesses and highlight the benefits of an inclusive workplace that provides for the needs of all employees.
Our partner Jezamine Fewins has recently written an article which considers the issues transgender employees face in the workplace. She has identified practical problems and suggested best practices for employers to adopt which addresses privacy issues, transitioning, and protection from discrimination. This article was first published for The Hong Kong Institute of Human Resource Management (HKIHRM).
