Abstract
This chapter, taking account of the personal and organizational benefits of effective management of diversity in the workplace, focuses on the management of gender and sexual diversity. Management of gender and sexual diversity in the workplace is one of the crucial strategies to foster inclusive workplaces and increase employee and organizational productivity. In line with the growing popularity of qualitative inquiry in sexuality research, this chapter utilizes a qualitative methodology and an intersectionality approach to provide reflections of gender and sexually diverse employees on their experiences in the workplace. In response to the evidence of gender and sexually diverse employees experiencing discrimination and stigmatization, this chapter establishes strategies and practices for effectively managing gender and sexual diversity. Management of gender and sexual diversity requires the implementation of inclusive initiatives and practices. It further requires organizations to acknowledge employees' experiences at the intersections of their multiple identities.
