In this groundbreaking work, an expert in transgender explains practices and policies that will lead to a healthier, happier workplace.
Vanessa Sheridan has been researching, writing, and speaking about transgender issues on a national basis since 1991.
The Complete Guide to Transgender in the Workplace is an awesome
resource. It has helpful information for people who are unfamiliar
with transgender issues, but it's also a useful tool for those of
us who know about transgender issues but want to do more as an
ally.
*Queercents*
Vanessa Sheridan's comprehensive guide for employers, coworkers,
and transgender individuals in the workplace marks an invaluable
resource in a field where many gray, confusing areas still exist.
'Transgender' is a concept that frequently is difficult to
understand, sometimes even for the transgender individual, so it is
both calming and instructive to see it discussed so thoroughly and
clearly as Sheridan has done. The book has explanatory chapters on
being transgender; what it means for that individual, and for those
sharing the same workplace; how to work with and for transgender
customers; and what legal protections are currently in place for
the transgender worker. It has tools for coming out at work and for
organizational leaders.
*Lavender Magazine*
Sheridan has been researching, writing and speaking about
transgender issues for nearly 20 years, and she has created this
practical guide for managers, human resource professionals and
policymakers who must deal with the increasing numbers of
transgender persons entering the workplace. The author provides a
list of effective tools based upon policy
examples from successful organizations that are designed to improve
the cultural climate, quality of life and opportunities for these
individuals. Appendices include self-quizzes, case studies and a
copy of IBM's equal opportunity policy.
