Language is a powerful tool that influences how we understand and relate to each other, both personally and professionally. In a workplace, the use of inclusive and gender-neutral language is essential for creating a respectful and equitable work environment. At TMA, we understand that language is a driver of change and have created our Gender-Neutral Language Guide to raise awareness and promote more equitable and respectful communication within the company and contribute to the creation of an inclusive organizational culture. Below, we&#8217;ll explain the importance of this guide: how it can improve internal communication and its connection to other key pillars of our equality policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":69,"featured_media":19648,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-informacion-corporativa-en"],"acf":[],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tma.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tma.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tma.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tma.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/69"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tma.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19676"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/tma.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19676\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19707,"href":"https:\/\/tma.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19676\/revisions\/19707"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tma.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tma.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tma.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tma.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
