der Mitarbeiter/die Mitarbeitering vs. die mitarbeitende Person

German term or phrase: der Mitarbeiter/die Mitarbeitering vs. die mitarbeitende Person
ich habe das ein kleines Problem resp. einen kleinen Zweifel. Eine Aufstellung erlaubt mir nämlich kaum, jedesmal Mitarbeiter-Mitarbeiterin zu schreiben. Nur "Mitarbeiter" ist ja wohl diskriminieremd. Was gibt es denn noch, nebst ev. "mitarbeitende Person" (im Original in englischer Sprache spricht man von Associates, also klar
Mitarbeiter und nicht Angestellten, a subtle but psychologically important difference.)

Explanation:
Also ich persönlich finde Mitarbeiter nicht diskriminierend. Man schreibt ja auch oft einfach "der Kunde" usw. Mitarbeitende Person hat für mich eine andere Bedeutung.

your input together with that of langnet's has "subdued my apprehensions". And you are write about Mitarbeitende Person having a different meaning. Thank you, Langnet and sorry, MOS, but Assistenten does not work in my particular context.
