The number of people who identify as transgender grows every year, so employers should be aware of the laws and best practices regarding the transgender individuals among their employees.

A new Pew Research Center survey from June reports that 1.6% of adults in the U.S. identify as transgender or nonbinary. Roughly 5.1% of adults younger than 30 identify as trans or nonbinary.

At the Hospitality Law Conference Washington, D.C., Andria Ryan, partner and co-chairperson of the Hospitality Industry Group at Fisher Phillips, spoke about the need for hoteliers to understand the laws regarding transgender employees and to handle practical situations with respect and sensitivity.
