Participation, non-participation and fairness

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings A study found that, across almost every type of program studied, employees who took part in workplace talent development programs felt both more fairly treated and also that they belonged more than those who did not take part, regardless of whether the program was open to everyone or reserved for selected staff. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
