Pronouns in the Workplace, HR Mediation Strategies

Heather Talamante, a DEI consultant, provides guidance on handling pronouns in the workplace, advising employees to wait for others to disclose their preferences rather than asking. Failure to use an employee's preferred pronouns can be classified as "bullying" by HR, even if it does not lead to an immediate write-up. The suggested "safe" alternative is to use an individual's first name to avoid gendered language entirely.
