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
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
Findings
This study focuses on promotion loss at work, and how different groups of people assess the level of discrimination they now anticipate experiencing in future. The results revealed that female employees and racial minority employees reported feeling the most anticipated discrimination after missing out on a promotion to a similarly qualified, non-minority or male candidate. The highest anticipated discrimination levels were felt by racial minority women. It’s recommended that transparent communication and decision processes are among the solutions to prevent these problems festering into pervasive disengagement and distrust.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives, strategists 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.
