SUMMARY
Research question:
How can inclusive HR practices facilitate the re-
integration of employees with disabilities and how do they contribute
to a positive diversity climate within companies? How does a positive
diversity climate affect team performance?
Methodology:
Mixed-methods design at the Audi corporation: Qualita-
tive focus group interviews with all stakeholder groups; two quantita-
tive survey studies.
Practical implications:
By designing and applying inclusive HR prac-
tices, companies can successfully retain older workers and employees
with disabilities and foster firm performance.
