Hapttitude and DEI: Fostering Happiness and Inclusivity

Hapttitude and DEI: Fostering Happiness and Inclusivity examines the relationship between workplace well-being and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), presenting an evidence-based framework for building healthier, more inclusive organizations. Drawing on contemporary research in organizational behavior, psychology, leadership and management, this scholarly monograph introduces the concept of Hapttitude - a positive, happiness-oriented mindset - and explores its role in promoting employee engagement, resilience and organizational performance. The book begins by establishing the scientific foundations of happiness at work and the strategic importance of DEI in achieving organizational excellence. It then examines the intersection of these concepts through discussions on workplace culture, the neuroscience of happiness, leadership and emotional intelligence. Dedicated chapters present practical strategies for fostering equity, belonging and employee well-being, while also exploring the emerging role of artificial intelligence in enhancing engagement and inclusive workplace practices. The concluding chapters provide global perspectives on implementing Hapttitude and DEI across diverse organizational and cultural contexts. By integrating theory with contemporary workplace practices, this volume offers valuable insights for researchers, educators, organizational leaders, human resource professionals and policymakers seeking to create inclusive, people-centered workplaces that support sustainable development, employee well-being and long-term organizational success.
