Playfulness for Professional Equity: Exploring Inclusion Through Interaction

Led by Jamie L. Gloor (University of St. Gallen) with collaborators Eugenia Bajet Mestre, Huong Pham, Mihwa Seong, Isabelle Engeler, and Raina Brands, this session examines how playfulness—spontaneous, interactive, and pleasurable—can be leveraged to foster equity and inclusion, helping leaders and teams break down barriers, build connection, and cultivate fairness in everyday interactions.

The programme will open with a 20-minute lightning talk, “Between the Spotlight and the Shadows: Women’s Agency and (In)Visibility in Finance.” A study using an agency lens to understand how women experience and manage (in)visibility in a highly masculine context, conducted by the Women in Finance Chair (Almudena Cañibano, Marion Festing, Amira Rahmat).

This collaboration between LIMI and WISE reflects ESCP’s mission to advance impactful research at the intersection of leadership, inclusion, and well-being—generating insights that enrich academic dialogue and shape healthier, more inclusive workplaces.
