DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, WITH EMPHASIS ON GENDER IDENTITY, IN HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS

Management. Diversity. Work. Transvestite. Transsexual.

In Brazil, diversity management emerged in the 80s, advocating the need to include women, blacks and homosexuals in the world of work. However, the trans and transvestite population has a low level of inclusion in the world of work, especially formal work, due to low levels of education, stigmatization and social prejudice. The aim is therefore to construct, validate and apply a questionnaire to assess diversity management practices in healthcare organizations with a focus on the gender identity of the trans and transvestite population. To this end, an evaluation study will be carried out between may and november 2023. The methodological path includes the phases of structuring subsidized by integrative literature review in three electronic databases (SCIELO, LILACS, PUBMED), content validation by consensus of three specialists in the area of gender and sexuality selected for convenience and application of the validated with managers working in human resources/management of work and education in health secretariat of state for public health, located in the city of mossoró/rn. The study presents partial results relating to the instrument's structuring phase. At the end of the study, it is hoped to obtain a reliable and valid questionnaire to enable analysis of the challenges to the process of social inclusion of the trans and transvestite population in health organizations.
