Gender Inclusive Staff Facilities
*BRONZE COMMITMENT Offer gender neutral facilities to staff, including washrooms, change rooms, locker rooms. A minimum of one gender neutral facility must be available at each work site during each regular workday.
Why this Commitment?
Everyone deserves equal access to public facilities and spaces such as washrooms, change rooms, and locker rooms. Providing gender neutral spaces to staff and public provides a safe space where people can use facilities without fear of violence or harassment.
Evaluation Plan

(Ex. If your organization manages multiple hotel properties, each property must have at least one gender neutral facility.)
