Framing inclusion as a competitive advantage has become standard business practice in recent years. This symposium explores the causes and consequences of inclusion across various levels of analysis: the workgroup (Roberson et al.), the organization (Sitzmann et al. and Kossek et al.), and the industry (Pozner & Woolley). The papers examine factors that contribute to inclusion, including individuals’ positions in networks (Roberson et al.), organizational work-family support structures (Kossek et al.), and interactions with others through industry communities (Pozner & Woolley). Additionally, the papers explore a range of consequences both for individuals’ well-being (e.g., outcomes of caregivers, Kossek et al.) and for firm performance (e.g., firms’ labor productivity, Sitzmann et al.). The symposium will conclude with discussant Lisa Nishii, whose remarks – in conjunction with the papers presented in the session – will further the audience’s understanding of the causes and consequences of inclusion across workgroups, organizations, and industries.
