Inclusion and Social Capital in Organisations
摘要
This chapter examines the interplay between inclusion and social capital in organisations. Inclusion requires active participation and equal access of all employees, ensuring their well-being. Nevertheless, over the last few years, inclusion has faced backlash based on perceived threats to resources and hierarchy. This backlash can be countered by utilising social capital on three levels: personal, intra-organisational, and extra-organisational that offer mechanisms to mitigate the backlash by building trust and cooperation. To increase social capital as a mechanism for inclusion, strategies such as mentoring, employee resource groups, and multidisciplinary collaboration can be used.
