Human resource management (HRM) departments report a lack of knowledge on supporting transgender employees during gender transition in the workplace. The purpose of this research is to survey the experiences of transgender workers in English-, French- and German-speaking countries to evaluate their experience of transitioning at work and the HRM support they received to do so.
A questionnaire consisting of 32 quantitative items and qualitative text boxes was completed by 166 transgender individuals.
Results show a mostly negative landscape with some pockets of good practice.
Answers are based on self-report measures and data are cross-sectional.
Recommendations for good practice are proposed for HRM departments.
A move towards a more inclusive workplace is needed.
Questions focus on HRM practices specifically, whereas other surveys have assessed work practices more broadly.
