A Playbook of Best Practices: Support Trans Employees, published by The Diversity Institute, serves as a practical toolkit to support trans inclusion in organizations in Canada. The playbook compiles over 100 best practice examples of policies and practices that foster trans inclusion and draws on existing research to demonstrate the importance of inclusive workplace practices.
Inside the playbook, you’ll find over 100 promising practices from Canadian organizations, which are organized into the following six categories of the Diversity Assessment Tool:
- Governance, leadership & strategy
- Human resources processes
- Values and culture
- Measurement and tracking of EDI
- Diversity across the value chain
- Outreach and expanding the pool
The promising practices listed in this playbook aim to serve as a guide for further exploration, and should be adapted based on organizations’ unique needs. For the full list of promising practices for trans inclusion, as well as more detailed research supporting the need for trans inclusion in the workplace, read the playbook.
