Understanding employees' support for D&I policies

I am proud to share our recently published paper on employees’ support for the diversity and inclusion (D&I) policies implemented by their organization!

Together with Wiebren Jansen, Yonn Bokern, and Naomi Ellemers, we introduced a taxonomy of D&I policy support and validated this empirically in a large-scale survey study (n=2913). In doing so, we advance existing scholarly work by providing both a theoretical account of and empirical evidence for the different ways in which D&I policies may find support or resistance from employees. In addition, our work offer practitioners a practical tool to examine employees' support and therefore enables them to design and implement more effective D&I interventions.

This article is the first scientific publication of our project "Het Moet Wel Werken. Het bevorderen van inclusiviteit op de arbeidsmarkt door synergie tussen wetenschap en praktijk", made possible by the Goldschmeding Foundation, and is the result of a collaboration between Utrecht University, InclusieNL and Diversity at work.
