One percent of American adults (about 2.5 million people)ย identify as nonbinary. That rate triples among those younger than 30, indicating that nonbinary employees comprise a growing workforce segment.
Ourย ground-breaking 2023 reportย found that job-seekers with nonbinary gender pronouns on their resumes were less likely to be contacted by employers. This year, we conducted a three-phase follow-up study to monitor progress regarding the acceptance of nonbinary professionals in the workplace:
- First, we conducted a new experiment involving nearly 1,000 hiring managers to assess if there was any improvement in bias against nonbinary job-seekers.ย The experiment revealed thatย hiring managersย were 8% less likely to consider applicants whose resumes contain they/them pronouns a โgood fitโ for a job.
- Second, we asked nearly 450 nonbinary professionals about their experiences to see if there had been any improvement regarding their acceptance in the workplace. 1 in 4 said their nonbinary identity had negatively impacted their experiences at work, and 72% of nonbinary professionals still felt revealing their gender identity would harm them during a job search.
- Third, we surveyed nearly 1,000 workers of all genders to determine whether job satisfaction differed. Overall, nonbinary professionals were 16% less likely than men and 8% less likely than women to be satisfied in their current roles.
My take:
Outside our blind survey, Business.com asked hiring experts about including pronouns on resumes and whether applicants should share their gender identities in the hiring process. Their advice covered several widely varying perspectives:
-
- Never include pronouns on resumes: โLess is more when it comes to the resume. Save the pronoun preference for the interview process, where you can provide context and engage directly with the hiring team. The resumeโs primary function is to get youย called in for an interviewย โ keeping it concise and packed with relevant achievements and relatable skills makes a stronger impact.โ โย Matthew Warzel,ย president of MJW Careers
