Beyond the gender binary at work: introduction to the special issue

Hennekam, S. and Beauregard, T. Alexandra (2025) Beyond the gender binary at work: introduction to the special issue. [Editorial/Introduction]

Abstract

In this editorial, we introduce a special issue on aspects related to being beyond the gender binary in the context of work. The special issue consists of seven articles that examine the lived experience of non-binary individuals in organizations, including how they express their gender identity or experience a gender transition, as well as how HR professionals perceive and approach gender diversity and how they contribute to or hinder the inclusion of non-binary individuals in organizations. Our editorial starts with a brief overview of what is known about being non-binary at work and HRM, what we do not know, and why it is important to study this topic and push for more support and inclusion for this population. We then introduce the articles in this special issue, which adopt different theoretical lenses, use different methodologies and are embedded in different sociocultural and legal contexts. Based on this collection of articles, we present avenues for future research on gender diversity and HRM. Moreover, with the aim to bridge the theory-practice gap, we outline what HR practitioners can learn from this collection in the hope to contribute to a more inclusive and supportive workplace for all individuals, regardless of their gender identity.
