The software engineering field is shifting towards a greater emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as the well-being of professionals. Research is highlighting the importance of creating a welcoming and inclusive environment, particularly for underrepresented groups such as LGBTQIA+ individuals. Studies have shown that issues like invisibility, prejudice, and discrimination can negatively impact the experiences of these professionals, while a sense of belonging and tailored support can lead to more positive outcomes. Additionally, there is a growing recognition of the need to address workplace stress and promote well-being through user-centered interventions. While some interventions, such as yoga-based programs, may show promise, their effectiveness can be influenced by various contextual factors. Noteworthy papers in this area include:

• The Developer Experience of LGBTQIA+ People in Agile Teams, which provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ professionals in software engineering.
• From Diverse Origins to a DEI Crisis, which explores the backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the software industry and highlights the resilience of DEI values in adapted forms.
