Thanks for everyone’s comments, we can see there are some very strong opinions on this issue. The purpose behind our tweet was to relay that using pronouns can help to include under-represented groups at work that greatly appreciate the use of pronouns.

It is up to individuals at work on whether they feel comfortable in using pronouns and it is optional. As impartial workplace experts, we regularly feature guest blogs / opinions on a range of equality and diversity issues.

Employers should be aware that the effects of #LongCovid can come and go. On some days the person might seem well, but on others their symptoms can be worse and they might need to be off work again.
