Donn Levie (@DonnLevie) recently wrote a very helpful article for those who are transgenders and examples for employers in a similar situation he experienced. As we know, this is still new territory in many ways although it is more common now than 10 years ago. I think people who work with transgendered coworkers will benefit from this dialogue. We dive a little deeper than the article Donn offers in hopes this will offer addition value for those who need it.

Do you currently work with a transgendered co-worker? How have you handled it? How does your company handle it? Share it with us. Here’s how you can do it:

    1. Call and leave a voicemail at 708-365-9822
    2. Go to TheVoiceofJobSeekers.com, press the “Send Voicemail” button on the right side of your screen and leave a message
    3. Send email feedback to mark@thevoiceofjobseekers.com

Helping Transgered Employees in the Workplace

Heres more about Donn, who is a former Fortune 500 hiring manager, author of Strategic Career Engagement (September 2015),and the book that reset the rules for successful job and career strategies: Confessions of a Hiring Manager Rev. 2.0 (June 2012),Winner of the 2012 Global eBook Award and Winner of the 2012 International Book Award for Jobs/Careers). His next book,The Demilitarized Zone: From Deployed to Employed will be available later in 2016. Here is a link to his blog for more of his career advice.

    Here are some highlights from our discussion:
    • Personal values had much to do with how Donn wanted to handle his transgender employee
    • People are often fixed and grounded in their values and often doesn’t influence others. It is difficult to not judge and put them aside in the workplace
    • Human resources handled to announcement of the gender change of “Al” to “Alice”
    • Any overt behavior was not seen in the halls, but denigrating things were harsh as some employees whispered about the transgender co-worker
    • Values play a part of decisions, it is showcased on how you treat others, and can very well affect your personal brand
    • Value disruption can change the way people are viewed, often there’s no consideration for the transgender individual who is the cause of change
    • Hiring managers will ultimately ask who will work with the team I have, or will they affect they way the team works
    • Donn shares six qualities all successful job seekers no matter the lifestyle or changes occurred or faced
