HIDDEN INEQUALITIES IN THE WORKPLACE A Guide to the Current Challenges, Issues and Business Solutions

Palgrave Explorations in Workplace Stigma Series editor Julie Gedro Empire State College Rochester, New York, USA

This series is a call to action for organizations to not only recognize but accept and support employees of all walks of life, regardless of the social stigmas that separate them from their seemingly “normal” counterparts. It fills the gap in scholarship surrounding the difficult issues employees face based on their background, lifestyle, or past mistakes, including mental illness, alcohol and drug addiction, sexual minorities, ex-offender status, and military veterans. Through rigorous research and contributions from the foremost scholars in human resources, books in the series will provide an in-depth treatment of each population and offer tactful solutions for HR scholars and practitioners to effectively navigate the delicate nature of these matters. The series speaks on behalf of anyone who has ever been affected – directly or indirectly – by discrimination from an employer, and promotes a positive, productive, and purposeful working environment for employees at all levels More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/15458
