Expressing your gender identity authentically in the workplace is a crucial part of bringing your whole self to work, and of being fully present and engaged. Increasingly, people are publicly identifying as gender nonconforming, intersex, trans, and nonbinary.
While many managers are well-intentioned and want to be
LGBTQ+ allies
, few have had training in the complexities of gender, and many may feel confused by coworkers who don’t identify as exclusively male or female.
Catalyst has created a suite of tools, resources, and materials to help managers and employees become better allies and create a gender-inclusive work environment where everyone feels seen for who they are.
