摘要

Purpose

Organizations are increasingly integrating a diverse workforce, bringing both opportunities and challenges. To harness the benefits of diversity while addressing its complexities, the adoption of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles is essential. These principles are particularly important in ensuring optimal accommodation for people returning to work after a period of disability, to take account of their multifaceted realities. Managers are pivotal in implementing and overseeing these initiatives, yet their specific roles and the required competencies remain underexplored. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the competencies managers need to effectively uphold DEI principles.

Methods

We conducted a scoping review to collect and analyze information from 21 manuscripts, following a systematic five-step process.

Results

The analysis identified seven core competencies and 28 sub-competencies that managers must exhibit to promote DEI in organizations. The seven competencies include the following: (1) communicating effectively with individuals; (2) managing DEI-related conflicts with diligence; (3) identifying and improving personal challenges related to DEI; (4) demonstrating transparency toward individuals; (5) acting as a role model to promote DEI at all levels; (6) facilitating the full potential of individuals; and (7) creating a team dynamic that fosters a sense of belonging for all individuals.

Conclusion

This study underscores the critical role managers play in fostering inclusive environments, not only by promoting diversity but also by implementing fair workplace accommodations that facilitate the return to work of employees following a period of disability. This framework provides a foundation for future research on managerial practices in DEI.
