Diversity Intelligence: Reimagining and Changing Perspectives
by Claretha HughesThis book develops and amplifies the emerging concept of diversity intelligence, which is the capability of leaders to recognize the value of workplace diversity and to use this information to guide thinking and behavior. Organization leaders need diversity intelligence to better interact with the changing demographics in the US and the global economy, by embracing differences as strengths rather than weaknesses. Without a clear understanding of diversity, leaders are not fully equipped to realize organizational goals through all employees. The author highlights the importance of reimagining diversity and changing perspectives while integrating it into leadership and career development plans alongside intellectual intelligence, emotional intelligence, and cultural intelligence.

by Helena Desivilya SynaThis book focuses on managing diversity in regions and times of political tensions. Using Israel as an example, the author investigates diversity management in the socio-political context of a protracted national conflict – an area that remains largely unexplored.

This integrative conceptual approach mirrors the professional development of the author, who throughout her career has sought to unravel the enigma of complex human interpersonal and intergroup relations using a multifocal and interdisciplinary lens.

Diversity Management in der Personalauswahl
by Andreas Frintrup Brigitte FlubacherDie Rahmenbedingungen für die Personalauswahl in Unternehmen und Behörden hat sich dramatisch verändert - und wird sich weiter verändern: Qualifizierte Fachkräfte sind branchenübergreifend immer schwerer zu finden. Gleichzeitig steigt in Deutschland die Zahl gut qualifizierter Migranten. Eine zeitgemäße Personalauswahl muss hierauf Antworten entwickeln, damit dieses Qualifikationsreservoir auch nutzbar gemacht werden kann und geeignete ausländische Bewerber nicht an formalen Stufen des Einstellungsprozesses oder an den noch ausbaubedürftigen Sprachkenntnissen scheitern. Die Autoren erklären kompakt und praxisnah, wie eine Erhöhung der Zugangschancen von geeigneten Bewerbern mit Migrationshintergrund erreicht und gleichzeitig die Qualität der Auswahlentscheidung in Bezug auf die künftige Erfüllung der beruflichen Anforderungen sichergestellt werden kann. So beschreiben sie vor diesem Hintergrund systematisch alle wichtigen Instrumente und Schritte des personaldiagnostischen Prozesses. - Daneben werden Grundlagen zu personaldiagnostischen und juristischen Fragen vermittelt und auch moderne, webbasierte Bewerbungsprozesse berücksichtigt. Dieses Buch hilft, die Personalauswahl besser auf das Zukunftserfordernis Diversity auszurichten. Personaler können damit einen Beitrag leisten zur kulturellen Vielfalt und Leistungsfähigkeit der Organisation, und darüber hinaus zu gesellschaftlicher Prosperität und sozialer Sicherheit.

by Gill Kirton Anne-marie GreeneA comprehensive and critical review of the global scholarly literature on diversity, this book presents findings from original UK-based research involving in-depth organizational case studies, interviews, observation and documentary data from over fifty organizations.

Has the UK deconstructed and reconstructed the diversity concept to fit with the legal, social and economic context of UK organizations? How are organizations in the public and private sectors responding in practical terms to the diversity concept? What is the legacy of the traditional equal opportunity concept? What are the experiences of different organizational stakeholders of diversity management? Whose interests does diversity management serve? Looking at many of the weaknesses associated with more traditional equal opportunity policy approaches, this book is excellent reading for all students of international business, entrepreneurship and small businesses.

Diversity Training That Generates Real Change: Inclusive Approaches That Benefit Individuals, Business, and Society
by James O Rodgers Laura L KangasThis complete guide to effective, transformative diversity training provides an answer to the superficial, check-the-box DEI efforts that are undermining the entire field.DEI work is getting a bad reputation. But that's because it's not being done right, say veteran diversity consultants James O. Rodgers and Laura Kangas. Too many organizations are treating diversity training as a quick-hit, low-cost, check-the-box activity. Effective diversity training involves behavioral change based on adult learning theory. It is rigorous, deeply personal, experience based, and, if done well, life changing. Rodgers and Kangas offer a complete guide, from design to implementation to results. They show how to• determine what specific, tangible outcomes an organization wants before it starts• link diversity training to overall organizational strategy• help all participants forge an individual, emotional connection to the training• identify what skills a facilitator needs—the right facilitator makes all the difference• create memorable learning experiences, not simply educational programs The authors' goal is nothing less than to spark a worldwide revolution of informed practitioners, employees, and business leaders who will demand diversity training be given the same time, resources, and attention as any other critical enterprise initiative.Reading group discussion guide available in book.
Diversity Without Dogma: A Collaborative Approach to Leading DEI Education and Action
by Gilmore CrosbySocial Scientist Kurt Lewin said, "No research without action, and no action without research." Too much of the current DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) approach is insight-based instead of action-based. Even though institutional racism is identified as the root problem, the change effort is focused on looking inward for bias instead of taking action to eliminate institutional racism and other isms. A Lewinian approach, in contrast, is balanced. What people think is important, but no more important than what people do. If you bring people together to change things, this will change what people think! We don’t need therapy nearly as much as we need action based on dialogue! Instead of spending your energy soul-searching for evidence in your thoughts and behaviors that you have unconscious biases, this book helps put your energy into doing something practical about racism. To get there, this book uses Lewin’s social science to build a framework for sorting through the many approaches to and positions held on race, racism, diversity, and related topics. While the framework is and must be applicable to any prejudice, systemic or individual, the bulk of this exploration is focused on racism, which to a large degree has become the primary social justice focus of our times. Painfully aware that conversations about race can easily deteriorate into polarization, the author lays a path toward finding common ground.

Diversity and Design: Understanding Hidden Consequences
by Beth Tauke, Korydon Smith, and Charles DavisDiversity and Design explores how design - whether of products, buildings, landscapes, cities, media, or systems - affects diverse members of society.

The book not only investigates how gender, race, class, age, disability, and other factors influence the ways designers think, but also emphasizes the importance of understanding increasingly diverse cultures and, thus, averting design that leads to discrimination, isolation, and segregation. With over 140 full-color illustrations, chapter summaries, discussion questions and exercises, Diversity and Design is a valuable tool to help you understand the importance of designing for all.

Diversity and Inclusion in Italy: Societal and Organizational Perspectives (Diversity and Inclusion Research)
by Simone Pulcher Stefano Basaglia Simona Cuomo Zenia SimonellaHistory, geography, culture, and the legal framework influence the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion in and around organisations. Yet, most academics and practitioners still approach themes of diversity in organisations relying on standardised discourses and practices, often transferred uncritically from the Anglo-Saxon context. Adopting a contextual approach that takes into account the specificities of the Italian context, this book explores a wide array of themes related to diversity and inclusion in organisations and society. Focusing on the Italian context, the book offers new insights into themes already well-established in the diversity debate, such as gender, age and disability. It also provides an opportunity to reflect on categories, organisational forms, and stakeholders rarely associated with diversity, such as social class, family businesses, and trade unions, but also to consider the role of technology and the arts as tools for both inclusion and exclusion. The contributions draw on different disciplines and perspectives and provide insights relevant not only with respect to Italy but also to other national and international contexts. This volume is aimed at both researchers and practitioners who wish to develop a more nuanced and mature understanding of diversity in organisations and society.
Diversity and Inclusion in Japan: Issues in Business and Higher Education (Routledge Studies on the Asia-Pacific Region)
by Lailani Alcantara and Yoshiki ShinoharaAlcantara, Shinohara, and their contributors evaluate the current state of diversity and inclusion (D&I) within business and higher education in Japan, and the importance of D&I to the growth of Japan’s economy and the enrichment of its society. Japan is widely understood to be a homogenous and patriarchal society, and while this is changing and was never wholly accurate, it certainly faces challenges in becoming more diverse and inclusive, particularly in its business and higher educational cultures. Grounded in research and offering best practices, the chapters in this book analyze critical issues relating to D&I in Japan at the individual, organizational, and industry levels. They present both a longitudinal analysis of the evolution and performance outcomes of D&I policies in Japanese corporations across industries, and rich studies of different underrepresented groups in Japan. These groups include immigrants, women, and people with disabilities. The contributors prescribe policies for promoting D&I in higher education, within businesses and at the governmental level. This book is an essential contribution to D&I discourse in the Japanese context that will be of great value to scholars of Japanese society and business, and an important extended case study for those looking at D&I more widely.
Diversity and Inclusion in Latin American and Caribbean Workplaces: Experiences, Opportunities, and Challenges
by Carlos Tasso Eira de Aquino Ronald R. RojasThis book explores the workplace experiences, opportunities, and challenges that emerge from the nuances of diversity and inclusion dynamics in Latin American and Caribbean countries. While the first part of the book addresses emerging frameworks on diversity and inclusion in Latin America by examining the effects of history, traditions, and cultural differences, the second part offers case studies of country-specific actualities. The authors highlight that despite the many shared cultural aspects of the region, it is not homogeneous and there are significant differences from place to place. It follows then that a variety of cultural differences implies a variety of approaches to workplace values, and more specifically, to the understanding of diversity and inclusion. Examining topics such as gender identity, disability, and racial gaps in countries throughout the region, this book offers scholars a fresh perspective on an emerging region.
