WELD Research

The overarching goal of the work at WELD Research Lab is to understand how leadership, diversity, and mental health emerge and interact at work. Our research takes a person-centered approach using a variety of methods such as daily surveys, chatbot mediated data collection, qualitative interviews, and mixed methods. On a larger scale, WELD research employs these methods to help organizations understand the lived experiences of diverse and marginalized individuals working in fast-paced and often stressful work environments. Through a better understanding of hidden and visible diversity, leaders and organizations can better promote a more tolerant, diverse, and inclusive society.

Publications & Presentations

Collectively the WELD research team has published over 50 articles and presentations internationally on workplace topics such as motherhood, racial diversity, mental health, and neurodiversity.
