| Using Gender-Affirming Names in the Workplace [Editor's note: "Ask HR" got this question from an academic library. As readers will see, the question and answer explore issues about identity that may impact some readers deeply. We welcome your comments on how to address questions of about personal and sensitive topics in the work environment effectively and compassionately; comments may be sent to adams@losapllc.com.] I have a work-study student who has worked for me since they were a Freshman, they are now a Junior. I have noticed that this student is transitioning, their voice is deeper, they now have facial hair, etc. I have always referred to them by their government name, but when looking at some of their art work, I noticed they use a different name. How do I ask what name they would prefer me to use without offending or making the student uncomfortable? |
