Experiences of Canadian Female Orthopaedic Surgeons in the Workplace: Defining the Barriers to Gender Equity
Background: Only 13.6% of orthopaedic surgeons in Canada are women, even though there is nothing inherent to the practice of orthopaedic surgery that favors men over women.

Methods: An electronic survey was distributed to 330 female-identifying Canadian orthopaedic surgeons and trainees and

Workplace wellbeing among LGBTQ+ Australians: Exploring diversity within diversity
A wealth of research documents disparities in workplace outcomes between cisgender heterosexual employees and LGBTQ+ employees. However, few studies have examined how workplace wellbeing may differ among different subgroups within the LGBTQ+ umbrella – that is, the notion of ‘diversity within diversity’. The current study fills this gap in knowledge by theorising and testing differences in workplace wellbeing across nuanced

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Clinical Research: A Path Toward Precision Health for Everyone
Healthcare disparities are a persistent societal problem. One of the contributing factors to this status quo is the lack of diversity and representativeness of research efforts, which result in nongeneralizable evidence that, in turn, provides suboptimal means to enable the best possible outcomes at the individual level. There are several strategies that research teams can adopt to improve the diversity,

Understanding advantaged groups’ opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies: The role of perceived threat
To combat social inequality, organizations develop and implement initiatives that seek to improve the status of disadvantaged groups (e.g., women, racial/ethnic minority groups). Such diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies are controversial, because people disagree about whether they are necessary and what their (positive and negative) consequences may be. Opposition can be particularly fierce from people who belong to advantaged

Impact of Artificial Intelligence as Part of an Organization’s Diversity
The aftermath of the global pandemic in 2020 brought many public and private organizational leaders to the whiteboard, and with a dry eraser in their hands, human leaders were expected to produce solutions, but only a few managed to write the new blueprint to protect millions of employees, customers, and students from the life-threatening COVID-19 virus. Subsequently, artificial intelligence was

Symmetry, inclusion and workplace conflicts: conflict management effects of two leadership strategies on employee advocacy and departure
