At the heart of The Role of Linguistic Profiling within Career Development is the important question: how does linguistic profiling shape careers in an increasingly globalised and diverse economy? From modifying an accent, to word choice, to tone, an international team of authors explore the effects of such modifications (both positive and negative) in various professional environments. The Role of Linguistic Profiling within Career Development brings to life the real-world implications of such bias and provides actionable insights for practitioners and academics alike.

This backbone of innovative research creates a fresh perspective into the relationship between linguistic profiling and career development, grounded in a globalised commitment to diversity and inclusion and aligned with the UNSGs of reducing inequality and promoting inclusive, sustainable economic growth. By pushing the boundaries of current thinking surrounding diversity, the authors lay out a solid groundwork for anybody interested in how the way that we communicate can affect our place in the workforce. Once linguistic differences are seen not as a cultural barrier, but as a source of strength and opportunity, the modern era of work can truly begin.
