Book Description
This book is designed for employers, managers, human resources personnel, implementers of employee assistance programs, and others in a position to make workplace decisions about how to handle a transsexual employee's transition from one sex to the other. The book includes basic information about transsexualism, an explanation of the transition process, illustrative personal histories, information on relevant civil rights and disability laws, tips for managing difficult situations, and a glossary. There are suggestions for dealing with coworkers' concerns, uncomfortable clients, the general public, and the media. Common workplace issues, such as pronoun usage, dress codes, restroom use, employee transfers, and health insurance, are addressed. A wider concept of transgender is also introduced as it pertains to crossdressers, transgenderists, intersex people, post-transition transsexuals, and others. A resource section lists helpful national and regional organizations, books, magazines, and videos.
From the Publisher
This book represents a major advance in the field of transgender employment. Transsexuals who anticipate transitioning on the job will find this book an excellent resource to place in the hands of their managers, human resource personnel, and others who will be making decisions that affect their work lives. For the manager facing for the first time the challenge of accommodating a worker's transition from one sex to the other, this book will be a lifesaver. In a concise and readable format, it provides a basic understanding of transsexualism and the steps involved in the transition process. It goes on to address issues that may arise in a wide range of workplace scenarios. The glossary acquaints the reader with a basic vocabulary of terms used in discussing transgender topics, and the resource section points the way to additional information. More complete than the chapters and booklets heretofore available, this is the first book devoted entirely to the topic of managing transition on the job.
