The Handbook on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion consists of cutting-edge research that serves as an indispensable guide to scholars on path-breaking research that has been conducted in the field, while also looking ahead to provide guideposts on what theoretical boundaries can be pushed in the context of future research imperatives. With a keen focus on contemporary challenges this comprehensive set offers profound insights to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in organizations. Not only will this serve as an impactful reference work to scholars, a valuable educational resource for management students, but will also act as a guide for leaders to navigate the complexities of fostering diversity and inclusion in increasingly nebulous work environments.This work comprises cutting-edge research - both new and specially commissioned chapters - from global experts in the field, from various lenses: Volume 5: LGBTQ+ Inclusion at Work: A Global ViewThis volume examines the global state of LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion, highlighting both significant progress and persistent challenges. While over 80 countries have enacted protections against discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation, more than 60 countries still criminalize LGBTQ+ identities. The book frames these tensions through the concept of inclusion hysteresis, where demands for equity clash with entrenched resistance and backlash from dominant groups.This book offers strategies, theoretical lenses, policy paradigms, and interventions that offer to transcend the inclusion hysteresis that is taunting the inclusion of LGBT+ individuals. It seeks to open and start new conversations and observations and bring together a diverse range of perspectives and research findings to provide a comprehensive understanding of LGBTQ+ issues in the workplace. It also provides actionable strategies for fostering inclusive environments.
