Inclusive Leadership and Employee Voice: Fostering an Open Organisational Culture

Diverse labour markets, global mobility, growing internationalization, and acute skills shortages in many sectors and contexts, requires organizations to develop strategic approaches in the way they attract, engage and retain diverse talent and skills. Inclusive organisational cultures and climates that welcome, encourage and embrace a range of diverse voices are key to securing work engagement and retention of diverse talent. This edited book provides fresh insights to bridge the gap in our understanding surrounding the meaning and implementation of inclusive leadership and employee voice in contemporary organisations.

Through a multidisciplinary approach, this book highlights the critical role of inclusive leadership in fostering a culture of open communication, where employees feel valued, respected, and motivated to contribute. It underscores the importance of moving beyond tokenism to genuine inclusion, where every employee's voice is a catalyst for organisational growth and transformation. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of HRM, leadership and organisational behaviour. Additionally, it will serve as a valuable advanced resource for leaders, HR professionals, and scholars seeking to advance the dialogue on inclusive leadership and employee voice, and to implement strategies that drive meaningful and lasting change in their organisations.
