Is “they” grammatically correct as a singular pronoun?
What does non-binary mean?
Is it possible to make a document gender neutral, and if so, how?
What is a transition plan and do we need one?
What do I do if a colleague gets misgendered in front of me?
Benefits
Gender inclusion creates a more compassionate culture, improves employee retention and recruitment, and increases your potential customer base. Aikotek gender inclusion trainings educate you and your team to understand and manage gender bias, learn the fundamentals of gender identity and gender expression, and gain the skills necessary to be an ally to customers and colleagues.
Some of us can’t understand why people respond with negativity when we were “only asking a question” or “just being nice.” Others are so worried about saying the wrong thing, they don’t say anything at all. Gender inclusion training explains the difference between “kind” and “educated” to help you communicate with confidence.
