Data from a new survey between Totaljobs and YouGov has discovered that two-thirds of trans employees (65 per cent) do not feel safe enough to disclose their status in a working environment.
The same survey was conducted in 2016 and 52 per cent of participants revealed they would disclose or hide their trans identity, which has since gone up by 13 per cent.
New research also revealed that 42 per cent of trans employees have quit their jobs due to a hostile and unwelcoming work environment (an increase of 7 per cent since 2016), and a further 32 per cent have experienced workplace discrimination.
Trans employees who have experienced discrimination in the workplace, in the last five years, more than a quarter have also been deadnamed.
