Gender settings in myhrtoolkit

Myhrtoolkit acknowledges the increase in companies recognising non-binary gender preferences. The system provides features to support this, chiefly through gender neutral text, a variety of default titles, and customisable gender references for users.

Configuring Gender

Configuring Gender options is done via Config > System > Organisation structure > Gender configuration.

The genders configured in the system are listed. The defaults are ‘Female,’ ‘Male,’ and ‘Not set.’

Gender and Users

 

Adding Gender before going live

The Gender category can be added via the upload spreadsheet; both at initial set up and once live via import new employees. Gender appears on the upload instruction sheet as item 4.

Note – You cannot go live without a gender, but once live, users can be added via the upload sheet without gender. A user without gender set shows as a ‘Not Set’ in the drop-down menus.

Setting up and editing gender and title

After going live, gender and title are set up using the New Employee Wizard.
