Leveling the Playing Field: A Collection of Inclusive Approaches to Assessment
Organizations increasingly recognize the importance of emphasizing diversity, equity, and inclusion. However, there remains much work to do in the realm of organizational measurement across the performance management spectrum. This collection of work explores facets of the assessment space, including considerations around minimizing adverse impact, how to measure inclusive mindset, and a better understanding of differences in accuracy of self-ratings between genders, to help address unanswered questions in this realm.

Recent Developments in Research With Immigrant Workers
Immigrants comprise a growing portion of the United States workforce and offer unique perspectives to organizational research given their experiences traversing countries and cultures; however, this population remains largely understudied. This symposium presents recent research related to different immigrant populations, including work on accent bias experienced both by leaders and individuals proceeding through the hiring process, and work that adopts an intersectional lens to studying the workplace experiences of biomedical trainees and immigrants broadly.

Reading the Room: Context and Perceptions of Workplace Sexual Harassment
Recent workplace sexual harassment research as identified organizational climate and culture, mostly as they relate to organizational policies, as important factors in the occurrence and handling of sexual harassment. This symposium explores contextual and environmental variables that have been understudied within sexual harassment research but have the potential to impact how workers think about sexual harassment. Understanding these perceptions is crucial, as they can affect reporting behaviors, the support given to targets, and future harassment incidents.

Driving Action Through Inclusion Analytics
In this alternative session, researchers and practitioners will use data, practice, and experience to make the case for a broader view of how different groups of people experience work. Authors will consider diversity, equity, and inclusion from within a talent management lifecycle framework in order to establish a more critical perspective on the most salient DEI constructs in each practice area The session will conclude with a robust discussion and Q&A around the findings and an evidence-based recommended path forward for both researchers and practitioners.
