Today marks Transgender Day of Visibility, an annual day dedicated to celebrating the resilience and accomplishments of transgender and gender non-conforming individuals around the globe. It is a vital opportunity to recognize the triumphs of the trans community while raising awareness about the work that still needs to be done to achieve true trans equality and justice.

Today also marks a significant stride in our journey towards a more inclusive workplace as we proudly launch EllisDon’s Gender Affirmation and Transition Guide. This guide serves as a roadmap for employees undergoing gender transition while in the workplace. It is a resource created with care and understanding, aiming to support and ease the transition process for our employees, and is well supported by EllisDon’s Gender Affirmation, Transition, and Diversity Policy included in our employee handbook.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Kiersten Mohr of Terra Firma Transition Consulting for her invaluable support throughout the development of this guide. Her expertise and guidance have been instrumental in shaping this initiative. Additionally, we express our gratitude to PEACE, People & Culture, and Health, Safety & Environment teams for their enthusiastic support and participation in the training as we prepared for this launch.

Together, we are taking meaningful steps to ensure that EllisDon is a place where everyone can be their authentic selves. Thank you for joining us in embracing this important aspect of our culture.
