Evidence-Based Organizational Practices for Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging and Equity

Professionals seeking to cultivate diversity and inclusion at work will find that this book provides practical and evidence-based strategies for supporting employees' sense of belonging and mental health while addressing and preventing sexual harassment, microaggressions, and the motherhood penalty. Researchers and students will appreciate that chapters in this collection focus on uncovering the causes of, and finding solutions for, exclusion and discrimination, with the goal of creating vibrant workplaces where people can belong, engage, and be their most productive selves. The authors offer practical solutions, including improved training and onboarding programs, management strategies for supporting neurodiversity, creating inclusive cultures through intentional hospitality, implementing systemic change, ensuring psychological safety, and developing inclusive and participatory leadership styles. The importance of intersectionality, the need to move beyond the limited and ineffective remedies toward systemic change, and the role of inclusive leadership are recurrent themes across multiple contributions.
