Abstract

Gender identity, sexual characteristics and sexual orientation are fundamental dimensions of human life, and we must understand how they relate to organisational and work processes to address workplace inclusion. This special issue was conceived to showcase contemporary research about approaches to accelerate gender and sexuality inclusion in organisations. Here, we introduce the five papers included in this special issue – outlining their logic, variety of methods and contributions. Then we present an agenda of academic work across research, teaching and leadership to further our knowledge of what works and facilitate the translation of that knowledge into inclusive organisational practice.
