Summary:

"This impactful book explores what it means to feel seen, valued and connected in our working lives. International experts adopt a multidisciplinary approach to analyse the implementation and impact of workplace belonging measures across various sectors and contexts. Pairing conceptual frameworks with case studies, contributing authors examine timely topics such as AI and disability inclusion, humour and status, wellbeing during grief and cultural integration in global teams. Authors also introduce the concept of 'un-belonging' as a critical lens to examine exclusion, marginalisation and agency in the workplace, highlighting the factors that limit feelings of belonging. Ultimately, the book demonstrates that belonging is personal, dynamic and shaped by culture, identity and power. Belonging in the Workplace is a valuable resource for scholars and students of business and management, human resource management, organisational and occupational psychology and sociology. Its practical insights also make this essential reading for HR professionals and organisational leaders, alongside Diversity, Equity and Inclusion practitioners and consultants"-- Provided by publisher.
