Definition
The corporate-friendly term for deliberately leaving someone or something out, whether it's an insurance policy fine print gotcha or the social dynamics of not inviting Kevin to the planning meeting. In HR contexts, it's the thing companies are sued for when they accidentally-on-purpose leave certain people out of opportunities. Organizations now have entire departments dedicated to preventing exclusion while their employee resource groups meet during everyone's lunch break.
Example Usage
The policy's exclusion clause meant that the one thing Sarah actually needed coverage for was the one thing not covered.
