Employment Law Seminar | What’s in a name?
Research from The Chartered Institute of Personal and Development published in September 2023 found that 55% of transgender (or trans) workers have experienced conflict in the workplace, including harassment or discrimination with 18% stating that they feel “unsafe in the workplace.” Our employment law experts are here to help you navigate the subtleties and sensitivities of gender identification, manage conflicts of belief and explain the important role of HR in ensuring both equality and inclusion for trans workers and job applicants.
Together we will discuss the current legal protection for trans workers in the workplace and explore what the tribunals have said in recent cases involving misgendering, with a focus on where and why internal processes and policies have been criticised.
During this session with HR professionals and those responsible for the HR function you will have an opportunity to ask questions of the experts in our Employment team and discuss issues with like-minded peers.
