Why you should use gender-neutral language in the workplace | totaljobs - 0 views

  •  
    People in the workforce are working away from just gender binary pronouns or references. Using more gender-neutral pronouns opens up a safe environment for all people.

This is more apparent in workplaces because now, people are not just man or woman, there are many more existing genders.
