Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

LEAD MEANINGFUL AND POSITIVE CHANGE WITH THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO IMPLEMENTING DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

Of the very few Fortune 500 companies that share diversity data, 72% of their senior executives are white men. And it's been proven that companies with more diverse management teams have nearly 20% higher revenues. Surely YOU don't want to be left behind?

Moral imperatives aside, the business case for diversity and inclusion is clear - they are clear drivers of innovation, profit and employer brand. But how can male white leadership implement this change? There's no denying it's difficult - perhaps you feel left out of the conversation, afraid to make mistakes, and confused about the evolving language of diversity and inclusion.

In this practical guide, leading diversity specialists Felicity Hassan and Suki Sandhu OBE teach you how to create an inclusive environment for your employees and have educated conversations about diversity, illuminating what can sometimes be tricky territory with humour and heart.

Goodreads review by Charlotte on June 17, 2023

This book is incredibly centred on an American corporate environment, and seldom explains the reasons for inequalities or privileges.

Goodreads review by Sarah on May 10, 2022

I found this book to be really helpful in lots of different areas. The focus for each chapter is something different and it has questions to ask yourself as you go through the book. I listened on audible. I think the book will give me confidence to ask questions in future when I’m not sure of something......more
