Gender-affirming care | Indeed offers transgender employees £8K relocation benefit

Indeed, the online job listing website, is offering its transgender employees who seek gender-affirming care a $10,000 (£7962) benefit.

The benefit, which came into action in July, aims to support trans employees, and their immediate families, to relocate somewhere where gender-affirming care is permitted.

In the US, many states continue to criminalise or restrict access to this type of care through state laws, government-issued directives, mandates and orders. The Human Rights Campaign estimates that 35% of transgender youth in the US live in states where there are bans gender-affirming treatment and care.

Any employee that decides to relocate will automatically receive $10,000 (£7962) from Indeed to put towards any relocation expenses they incur, with family members who also seek this type of care being eligible for the benefit also.
