To provide empirical evidence of the positive effects of exposure to inclusive language on trans employees' well-being. We leveraged unique data from a large Australian national survey of workplace diversity and inclusion (2020 Australian Workplace Equality Index Employee Survey), focusing on a subset of trans respondents (n = 453). We derived self-reported and aggregate-level measures of exposure to trans-inclusive language and created a multidimensional index of employee well-being. We examined their relationships using fully adjusted random-intercept multilevel regression models. We found strong, positive, and statistically significant associations between different indicators of exposure to inclusive language at work and trans employees' well-being. These relationships were large in magnitude and emerged in the presence of an encompassing set of sociodemographic and workplace controls, including other markers of workplace diversity and inclusion (e.g., victimization experiences and identity disclosure). Our results provide robust evidence indicating that efforts to foster inclusive language at work can yield substantial, positive effects on trans people's feelings of belonging and inclusion, thereby contributing to their overall socioeconomic integration.

为了提供暴露于包容性语言对跨性别员工福祉的积极影响的经验证据。我们利用了一项大型澳大利亚工作场所多样性和包容性全国调查（2020 年澳大利亚工作场所平等指数员工调查）的独特数据，重点关注跨性别受访者的一个子集（n=453）。我们从自我报告和总体层面上获取了暴露于包容性语言的指标，并创建了员工福祉的多维指数。我们使用完全调整的随机截距多层回归模型来检验它们之间的关系。我们发现，工作场所中不同的包容性语言指标与跨性别员工的福祉之间存在强烈、积极且具有统计学意义的关联。这些关系的幅度很大，并且在包括其他工作场所多样性和包容性指标（例如，受害经历和身份披露）的一套全面的社会人口统计学和工作场所控制措施的情况下出现。我们的研究结果提供了强有力的证据，表明在工作场所中努力培养包容性语言可以对跨性别者的归属感和包容性产生实质性的积极影响，从而促进他们的整体社会经济融合。（2022 年；112（3）：482-490。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2021.306602）。
