As inclusion is related to many benefits in organizations, measuring and improving it is essential. While some well-known measures have been used and revised extensively over the years and contributed to important insights concerning the benefits of inclusion, other studies point to conceptual shortcomings of measures and call for new procedures. This symposium adds a fresh understanding to the debate by bringing together scholars who a) present the first major inclusion measure in the light of 20 years of inclusion research, b) suggest three fairly recent measures aiming at the further development of inclusion measurement and c) provide an all-encompassing literature review of over 30 years' publications, which also helps guide the development of a future research agenda. Using the presentations as a starting point, the overall goal of the symposium is to discuss the current state of the art in measuring inclusion, as well as common patterns and interesting differences, and to identify future directions for developing inclusion measures further for quantitative research.
