Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author addresses the problem of discrimination against transsexuals, in particular, discrimination in the workplace. The author also emphasizes the role of organizations acting as employers in the introduction of model legislation solutions throughout the country which could help to prevent and combat gender identity discrimination. Help from employers in the fight against discrimination on the basis of gender identity could manifest itself in three forms. Firstly, in the collection of data on discrimination experienced by the transgender community in the workplace. Secondly, in the development of concrete legal solutions, based on proven patterns of prevention in the organizations. And finally, in the sphere of education, by raising awareness in the workplace about gender identity issues, sensitizing to the needs of transgender people and thus combating negative social stereotypes and manifestations of discrimination in the workplace and beyond.
