This research aims to analyze the role of Human Resources (HR) in the inclusion of people with disabilities (PwD) in organizations. Diversity and inclusion (D&I) are increasingly central issues in companies and teams, driven by legislative changes in recent years, which is why several practices have been adopted to promote these values. A qualitative meta-analysis was carried out to answer the research question, through reading and analysis of articles published between 2019 and 2023. The investigation consisted of a sample of 36 articles, obtained through a selection process based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, followed by content analysis of these articles. The results show that effective inclusion of people with disabilities in the labor market goes far beyond compliance with laws and recent studies demonstrate an active role of HR in promoting D&I management, strategies to overcome challenges to the inclusion of PwD and inclusive practices of Human Resource Management (HRM). However, there is still a long way to go. These practices seem to have a positive influence on PwD, however, they can have the opposite effect if they are not aligned with the needs and expectations of these people. The inclusion and adequate integration of PwD, despite being a challenge, is an opportunity for HRM, with potential organizational, social and personal gains.
