About the authors
Ciarán McFadden is a Senior Lecturer in Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management at the University of Stirling, UK. His interdisciplinary research explores the workplace and career experiences of LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse employees, labour market discrimination and identity in organizations and has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals and several books.
Ciarán McFadden's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace is the best book I have encountered for studying EDI principles in business, HR, employment and economics. The blend of contemporary theories, real-life examples and policy implications brings a dynamic energy to the subject, encouraging learners, educators, policymakers and the wider public to recognize the importance of EDI in building human and societal capital. The book covers a vast array of critical topics and, most importantly, presents them in a clear and highly accessible manner. It surpasses all others currently available by enhancing learners' employability skills and preparing them for success in business environments.
