Summary:

"This illuminating book critically examines the landscape of research surrounding how LGBTQ+ employees can thrive at work and in their careers. Contributing authors provide an overview of the varied ways in which LGBTQ+ identities are researched within organizational, occupational and cultural contexts. Chapters explore areas of research and practice that shape how LGBTQ+ people experience their work, including human rights, labour market dynamics, work-life dynamics and the power of personal narratives. Scholars present insights from various disciplines including the humanities, economics, sociology, management and psychology. Global case studies spanning Africa, Asia and South America analyse topics such as heteronormativity, intersectionality, colonial legacies and homocapitalism. The book looks to the future of research on LGBTQ+ working lives, assessing the challenges facing inclusion in the workplace, as well as highlighting movements promoting equality across the globe. This timely book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of LGBTQ+ related topics, particularly work and employment, alongside critical management studies, organisational management and business and management. Practitioners in Human Resources, social policy, consultancy and training courses that focus on improving LGBTQ+ inclusion will also benefit greatly from this book"-- Provided by publisher.
