Now NatWest tells staff they can put pronouns on their name badges

NATWEST is the latest major company to allow staff to display their desired pronouns on name badges.

New eco-friendly tags will include the person’s name and their chosen pronouns, with options such as ‘he/him/his’, ‘she/her/hers’ and ‘them/theirs’.

Phonetic name spellings will also be available, the Sunday Telegraph reported. The changes will be optional and name badges will be available to NatWest’s 6,500 branch staff, who are also set to receive uniforms made from recycled plastic.

Marks & Spencer, the BBC and the Ministry of Defence already give employees the chance to state their pronouns. NatWest said the initiative was aimed at making staff feel more ‘comfortable or respected’.
