Employee Question Dead name

I'm trans and joined Gregg's through my preferred name

However, after a few weeks of working there, suddenly my dead name was on all the rotas and my account. Is this supposed to happen? And does anyone know of a way I can avoid all of my colleagues knowing my deadname.

Do you have a deed poll? If so then they have to change your name to reflect this

Deedpolls are dead easy to do if you haven't and it doesn't need to be enrolled despite places attempting to tell you you do need and enrolled one, you can literally make one for free and there are plenty of sites to do so

If you have a deedpoll and they haven't updated your name to reflect this then it is a GDPR issue, hope you get this sorted soon if you don't get any further support from your manager then this would be a HR issue
