Diversity Beyond Lip Service: A Coaching Guide for Challenging Bias
by La'Wana Harris"La'Wana Harris has opened this coach's eyes to the power of coaching practices to create new paths for diversity and inclusion work—whether or not you are formally trained as a coach. Please read this book and help create workplaces with honest engagement and access for all." —Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers 50 #1 Executive Coach and two-time #1 Leadership Thinker in the worldThe ugly truth about diversity is that some people worry they must give up their power for others to have a chance. La'Wana Harris's Inclusion Coaching method helps people realize that sharing power isn't the same as losing it. The elephant in the room with diversity work is that people with privilege must use it to allow others equal access to power. This is often why diversity efforts falter—people believe in diversity until they feel that they have to give something up. How do we talk them through this shift?La'Wana Harris introduces Inclusion Coaching, a new tool based on cutting-edge research that identifies the stages of preparation, implementation, and "self-work" necessary to help individuals, teams, and organizations build a sustainable culture of inclusion. Harris's six-stage COMMIT model—Commit to courageous action, Open your eyes and ears, Move beyond lip service, Make room for controversy and conflict, Invite new perspectives, and Tell the truth even when it hurts—provides a proven process for making people aware of their own conscious and unconscious biases and concrete steps to make inclusion an embedded reality. Harris offers managers and diversity coaches new models to empower everyone from employees to CEOs to "do" inclusion and address deep-rooted biases that are often invisible. She addresses the growing need to challenge bias and build authentic cultures where everyone can feel a sense of belonging.

Diversity Dividend: The Transformational Power of Small Changes to Debias Your Company, Attract Dive rse Talent, Manage Everyone Better and Make More Money
by Paola Cecchi-DimeglioFrom entry-level to the boardroom, what works to create large-scale change in organizations looking to accelerate their diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and reap financial benefits.Every leader endeavors to invest in and manage their key asset—talent—to be as high-performing as possible. Like a winning stock, successful diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) actions pay back over time. That dividend is paid both to the company—through not only higher performance but also talent acquisition, training, and other savings—and to society in general. In Diversity Dividend, Paola Cecchi-Dimeglio offers a fresh, detailed look at how to realize gender and racial equity along the company-employee pathway—from attracting and interviewing applicants to onboarding, promoting, and sustaining hires—and how to remove systemic barriers at the organizational level that prevent women and underrepresented groups from advancing. While other books have delved into DEI and the challenges inherent in sustaining successful efforts, no book has done so in concert with the depth and scope of data, basis in science, and application in the real world. In Diversity Dividend, Cecchi-Dimeglio artfully combines accessible anecdotal cases—where success was achieved or where, despite best intentions and efforts, things did not go as expected—with scientifically rigorous solutions as well as applications of data and big data.As empowering as it is comprehensive, Diversity Dividend helps remove the guesswork and near-superstition that naturally arise when some methods work and others fail, thereby giving leaders the tools and insight to make informed choices at the right moments to create lasting change.

Diversity Ideologies in Organizations: Diversity Ideologies In Organizations (Applied Psychology Series)
by Kecia M. Thomas Victoria C. Plaut Ny Mia TranSince the increased attention toward diversity in the workplace, the concepts of "diversity initiatives" and "diversity management" have become a common place in many conversations among academics and practitioners alike. The diversity movement in the workplace originated from the increased avocation for equal treatment of minority groups due to the dynamic composition of the modern workforce. Many organizations were forced to face these changes and the dilemma of how to respond to group differences to maintain and/or increase organization effectiveness and productivity. This volume will present new research on the colorblindness versus multiculturalism debate, assist in broadening the diversity ideology conversation, share this conversation across social science domains including industrial/organizational psychology, social psychology, and law and public policy, and highlight how the nature of diversity ideology may be fluid and therefore be different depending on the diversity dimension discussed.

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.

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?

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. Fifteen case studies in television, marketing, product design, architecture, film, video games, and more, illustrate the profound, though often hidden, consequences design decisions and processes have on the total human experience. 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.
