Abstract
Within the framework of the Dutch Participation Act, a social plan has been agreed upon to create 125,000 jobs for people with disabilities by 2026. Many organizations succeed in creating jobs for people with disabilities, however, retaining these employees appears to be difficult. As there is little knowledge on the factors that matter to retain people with disabilities in their jobs, this article discusses three studies focusing on uncovering the building blocks that increase workplace inclusion. These studies show that individual characteristics, such as inclusive behavior and prosocial motivation, as well as team facets, such as an inclusive climate, increase the success of workplace inclusion. These findings may assist organizations to create workplace inclusion, and provide directions on how to increase the inclusion of people with disabilities.
