Casey: What do you mean by the term “inclusive workplace?”
Mor Barak: The concept is based on the idea that work organizations must create and sustain a culture that is accepting of individual differences. It refers to a work organization that respects and utilizes the diversity of its own workforce while also being active in the community, in state and federal programs that support disadvantaged populations, and collaborating fairly across cultural and national boundaries.
Casey: So you’re looking inside as well as outside of the organization.

Leading work-family scholars in the fields of social work, psychology, sociology, organizational behavior, human resource management, business, and other disciplines provide information that is both accessible and compelling.
