    Hey everyone! It's been really insightful reading through your comments on adding a preferred name field to employees. We see how this feature could help with creating a more inclusive environment, while also helping prevent simple administrative mix-ups.

    There isn’t a dedicated way to manage this in Xero right now, but your feedback has highlighted the opportunity for one. For this reason, we have updated the idea's status to Accepted, confirming our product team agrees this is a feature we’ll put on our radar to consider developing in the future.

    We’ll let you know as soon as we have an update here.

    It is not uncommon for staff to use name(s) that differ from their legal name, and to not want their legal name to be displayed. This is especially critical for trans and gender diverse staff, particularly when their name is being displayed in fields seen by other staff such as the pick list for leave approvers.
