探花精选 is committed to cultivating a community workplace that is free of discrimination based on gender identity and expression, where鈥痑ll of鈥痮ur flock鈥痜eels welcome and seen. To that end, we implemented a voluntary initiative for employees鈥straight and cisgender, and LGBTQIA+ alike鈥to proactively share their pronouns in email signatures and interactions to create a more affirming workspace. We also have a suite of policies and materials to help support transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming staff members before, during, and after their transition while working for 探花精选. These policies also outline the obligations of 探花精选鈥檚 Human Resources department, supervisors, and other staff and provide guidance and resources to all employees to support our colleagues during their gender transition.
