Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

Findings

This research paper concentrates on assessing the effectiveness of disability sensitization workshops, with the aim of helping organizations become inclusive workplaces through self-evaluation. Respondents valued being trained by a person with a disability, and a psychologically complex symptom of informative disability training was that delegates inadvertently conceptualized disabled people as “others”.

Practical implications

The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
