Astro - Your tomorrow’s digital enablement initiative

Hi Celesta! I should have updated this in the Idea Portal when it was implemented, but it's implemented! Thanks for your idea and I hope you and family are well!

This should be prioritized as it is not just so that people are referred to by their "nicknames".  Preferred names are used by transgender people and gender non conforming people so that they are addressed by their chosen names. 

The PwC Gender Inclusion Policy document published on May 2019 stated that:

• As part of PwC’s commitment to being an inclusive workplace, we want to raise awareness about and understanding of gender and gender identity, and specifically, transgender individuals and communities.
• PwC is committed to working with transgender staff members, their career coaches, HR managers, teams and clients to support and respect our transgender staff
  members, and aims to keep private matters as confidential as practicable. Gender transition can mean a variety of things and will be different for each person.

Made up example: A transgender man has their preferred name as "Mike" in workday, their legal name is "Michelle". Astro address him as "Michelle" - meaning Astro has just disclosed the transgender identity of this individual that may be private. 

Tim Ryan also mentions the inclusion policy document in this email communication.
