While most hiring managers view employees sharing their
preferred pronouns in the workplace positively, some hold an
opposing opinion
SEATTLE, June 21,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ResumeTemplates.com,
the leading platform for free professional resume templates and
examples, has published a recent survey report examining hiring
managers' attitudes toward candidates listing their preferred
pronouns on their resumes and the use of preferred pronouns in the
workplace. The report also shares insights into workplace issues
related to pronouns. In June, ResumeTemplates.com surveyed 1,000
hiring managers in the U.S.
"It makes practical sense for candidates,
and not only for those who are non-binary or transgender, to
include their pronouns on their resume."
According to survey results, 66 percent of hiring managers hold
a "very" or "somewhat positive" view of employees sharing their
pronouns in the workplace. Meanwhile, 23 percent remain neutral on
the issue, and 11 percent have a "very" or "somewhat negative"
opinion. Similarly, 58 percent of hiring managers view candidates
who list pronouns on their resumes positively, while 15 percent
view this practice negatively. Although most respondents indicate
that listing pronouns on a resume does not affect their hiring
decision, 25 percent report that it increases their likelihood of
hiring the candidate, whereas 15 percent say it decreases it.
Among respondents who are more likely to hire a candidate who
lists their pronouns on their resume, 73 percent believe the
candidate would align well with the company culture. Additionally,
69 percent think that it would support diversity and inclusion
initiatives, and 57 percent have a personal preference for
individuals who include their pronouns. Conversely, of those who
are less likely to hire such candidates, 63 percent are concerned
that the candidate might be overly political, 61 percent worry
about potential conflicts with other employees, 58 percent believe
that the candidate would not mesh well with the company culture,
and 41 percent have a personal aversion to the practice of listing
pronouns.
"It makes practical sense for candidates, and not only for those
who are non-binary or transgender, to include their pronouns on
their resume. It is also useful information to have if the
candidate's name doesn't make their gender obvious, allowing you to
avoid the uncomfortable situation of misgendering them," says
Rob Boyle, marketing operations
director at Airswift.
Survey results also highlight that 33 percent of hiring managers
believe pronouns have led to issues in the workplace. Reported
challenges include misunderstandings or confusion about which
pronouns to use, discomfort from some employees in using certain
pronouns, the need for additional training and education on pronoun
usage, resistance to shifts from traditional gender norms, and
conflicts among employees over pronoun use. Notably, 18 percent of
hiring managers feel uncomfortable using gender non-conforming
pronouns in the workplace.
The survey, conducted in June 2024
via the Pollfish platform, included 1,000 U.S. hiring managers. To
participate, respondents had to confirm their involvement in hiring
at their workplace and their familiarity with the concept of using
preferred pronouns. Additionally, they needed to meet specific
demographic criteria: age 25 or older, household income of
$50,000 or more, a managerial-level
position or higher, employment at a company with at least 11
employees, and a minimum education level of a high school diploma.
