Axes and fluidity of oppression in the workplace: Intersectionality of race, gender, and sexuality

Employee health and well-being after a crisis – reimagining the role of workplace inclusion
Covid-19 left many employees with life-altering challenges— deaths or illnesses of loved ones, health problems, and economic upheavals. Even during ordinary years, adverse events affect around 50% of employees, exacerbating work/non-work demands and depleting personal resources. In order to identify supports for employee recovery from the pandemic and similar crises, we examine inclusive relational practices. Drawing on a conservation-of-resources framework,

What if your boss is a woman? Evidence on gender discrimination at the workplace
In this paper, we exploit rich cross-country survey data covering 15 European countries over the period 2000–2015 to investigate the relationship between the gender of the immediate supervisor (i.e. having a male or a female “boss”) and perceived gender discrimination at the workplace. We show that a female boss is associated with reduced gender discrimination, with positive spillovers mainly on

The Role of Data and Artificial Intelligence in Driving Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Data and artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to identify equality gaps and bring them to the forefront. According to U.S.
