The museum I'm working for uses gender pronouns on badges. Text beneath the ID photo is as follows:
NAME
he/him/she/her/they/them
Department (Geology, Biology, Archaeology, etc.)
Affiliation (Staff, Volunteer, etc.)
I haven't heard any objections to this from staff/personnel (although this doesn't mean that there haven't been any). A number of them have expressed agreement with and support for this change. Personally, I'm glad to see it. While in some instances it may prevent misgendering or resolve possible ambiguity, I think the message of inclusivity and respect is just as important.

Hello all,
Are there organizations that list gender pronouns on their staff name tags? If so I would love examples of how it's going and pictures of the tags. Thank you so much!
