2024 | Gender & Appearance Issues Affecting the Workplace

Amid the ever-evolving landscape of workplace discrimination laws, savvy employers must regularly review their personnel policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the most recent legal guidance and developments.

• We will review use of pronouns, bathroom usage, gender transition and other issues that affect transgender people in the workplace.

• We will also talk about grooming and dress policies, whether employers can have different standards for different genders, and avoiding claims of discrimination based on race, gender, and other protected characteristics.

• As part of this discussion, we will review tattoos, hair styles, jewelry, religious and even political expression in the workplace.
