Findings show how boys’ clubs, presenteeism & performance cultures reinforce men’s #privilege & position women as ‘other’. The study calls for organisations to change the systems, structures & norms that restrict access to opportunity, rather than expecting women to adapt (4/4).

Drawing on 19 semi-structured interviews with 16 women and 3 men working, or previously working, in Irish investment management, the study uses social closure theory and #Bourdieu’s concepts of field, habitus and capital to explore gendered #barriers to #progression (3/4).

Why do women continue to face #barriers to senior leadership in #investment management? This study explores how workplace cultures, org structures & unwritten rules in Ireland 🇮🇪 sustain gender #inequality, showing how the system shapes who belongs and who gets left out (2/4).

The study advances understanding of #neurodiversity at work in the Middle East, showing why inclusive leadership matters. Its message for companies: reducing stigma & building psychological safety into everyday leadership (not just policy) is vital to meaningful #inclusion (4/4).

Using cross-sectional survey data and structural equation modelling, the study finds that perceived exclusion predicts #disengagement intentions and #resistance behaviours. Stigmatisation mediates these relationships, while #psychological unsafety intensifies the harm (3/4).

Why do #neurodivergent employees disengage or #resist at work? This study examines how perceived #exclusion by leaders shapes these outcomes among 427 neurodivergent employees across tech, education, finance & govt in the #UAE, drawing on social exchange & stigma theories (2/4).

The study expands how research #impact can be understood. Impact is not only measurable #outcomes: shifts in #awareness, norms and practices matter too. Participatory research can create impact while gathering data, giving #knowledge back rather than simply extracting it (4/4).
21
Using #GenderLAB, the authors combine norm-critical reflection with #design thinking to help participants identify challenges & co-create practical, relevant D&I solutions. The intervention generated immediate, medium- & longer-term changes across participating firms (3/4).

Can research create meaningful organisational #impact before a paper is published? This study explores how qualitative, intervention-based research can generate immediate & lasting organisational #change during the research process - not only through later academic outputs (2/4).

Paper spotlight @EDI_Journal: Sunyoung Kim; Denise Lewin Loyd; Michelle Blood Checketts & Katherine W. Phillips - 'Presumed to value diversity: why racially diverse organizations are perceived as more ethical'. See thread for key takeaways (1/4). Paper: doi.org/10.1108/EDI-11-2024-…

The study shows that diversity can signal organisational values & #ethical commitment. Notably, observers consider not only whether diversity is present, but why: diversity carries greater ethical value when seen as genuine organisational #commitment rather than compliance (4/4).
12
Across two experiments with North American samples, the authors manipulated #racial #diversity and the perceived reason for it. Diverse organisations were seen as more #ethical, especially when #diversity reflected internal #choice rather than external compliance (3/4).
22
This paper examines how the presence of #racial #diversity shapes perceptions of an organisation’s ethicality. It asks whether diverse organisations are perceived as more #ethical, why this might be the case, and whether perceptions depend on why an organisation is diverse (2/4).

The study shows that neuro-inclusive coaching means scaffolding #choice, not removing it. Bounded options, visual aids, clear expectations & personalised introductions can reduce #anxiety & dropout. The key shift: barriers often sit in coaching #practice, not in the client (4/4).
10
The study draws on 11 hour-long interviews with autistic young adults & their coaches. Thematic analysis explored what makes coaching inclusive, finding that #trust, #rapport & a client-led approach remain vital; but #choice & #personalisation need to be carefully tailored (3/4).
9
As more #autistic people enter the workforce, organisations need more #inclusive support. This study examines how #coaching can become neuro-inclusive by challenging assumptions built around #neurotypical norms and identifying what autistic young adults need from coaching (2/4).
