Pronouns are a word by which an individual wants to be referred to in order to indicate their gender identity. Examples include, “He, She, They, Them, and Xhe.” Dayforce has been able to capture employee pronoun information for a few years.
For information about enabling pronoun functionality, see Allow Employees to Add Their Pronouns in the HR Administration Guide.
For information about administering pronouns, see Create Pronoun Options in the HR Administration Guide.
