Two remote employees are starting on my team. Both have chosen female names. Both were given male names at birth. The pronouns in both cases are they/them, even though the self-chosen names are female. I have not dealt with such situations. The work arrangement is permanently remote - I won't see them in person. How best to welcome and make feel at ease? One specifically requested that the male name given at birth be used on legal/tax documents only, so I will make sure this is so, but what else can I/we do to create a friendly environment?

I always am simply honest and tell people I want you to feel at ease and this to be a friendly environment. If anyone or anything makes you uncomfortable please do not hesitate to let me know and if there is anything we can do to make this a good workplace for you just tell me.
and FWIW I would like to say thank you for wanting to make it a good work environment for everyone. Not all employers care about people being comfortable

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
