Fair and Inclusive Workplaces
Small Group Meeting

A two day meeting comprising a series of academic talks and various opportunities for scientific exchange and networking along the shores of lake Geneva

  We invite researchers in work & organizational psychology to submit abstracts for a Small Group Meeting exploring the psychological foundations of fairness and inclusion in workplaces. 

Across Europe and beyond, organizations operate in a rapidly changing and often unstable societal climate. While many organizations seek to foster fair treatment and inclusive work environments, these efforts increasingly coexist with social, political, and economic forces that question, constrain, or resist such initiatives. Understanding how fairness and inclusion can be meaningfully achieved requires theoretically grounded and empirically informed research that accounts for societal context, organizational practice, and individual experience. 

Organizations introduce a wide range of policies and practices intended to promote fairness, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). However, such initiatives are not always systematically evaluated, nor are they consistently informed by scientific insights regarding their psychological impact and effectiveness. Addressing these challenges is essential for advancing research and informing practice.
