Objective:
Challenge students to design a program for diversity, inclusion, and well-being for a Portuguese company, using Paralympic sport as inspiration. The project aims to explore how sports can serve as a holistic approach to implement inclusive health and well-being policies in organizations, addressing physical, mental, and social dimensions. This theme is especially relevant in the global organizational context, where managers play a key role in developing strategies that promote employee well-being tailored to individual characteristics.
