A diverse workforce is a business imperative. Without it, companies are
made up of employees who come from the same background and have the same
skills and, therefore, the same blind spots. A diverse workforce brings
together different strengths, a variety of experiences, a huge breadth
of knowledge and a wealth of creative problem-solving techniques.
However, in order to leverage the benefits of this diverse workforce,
businesses must be inclusive. Inclusion ensures that employees feel
supported, are treated fairly and are therefore happier, more engaged
and more productive. Building an Inclusive Organization is a
practical guide to creating an environment of real inclusion. It
explains how to remove unconscious bias from company processes including
recruitment and selection, how to make the case for diversity and
inclusion to all stakeholders and how to embed inclusion into an
organization's culture and overall business strategy.
Packed with case studies from organizations including KPMG, Uber,
Salesforce, Harvard University and the UK National Health Service (NHS),
Building an Inclusive Organization shows how to implement robust
processes and policies to foster diversity and inclusion in
organizations of any size, and in all sectors, including the creative
industry, finance, tech, and academia and foundations. Guidance and
advice is also provided on how to use 'nudges' to change behaviours and
overcome bias, how to achieve transparency and accountability, and how
to measure, review and evaluate inclusion.
