Recommendation

“Diversity and Inclusion” experts Mark Kaplan and Mason Donovan make the business case for “D&I.” They provide a framework for creating a culture of inclusion in your workplace. The authors’ intentions are good and their information is solid, but the book’s repetition makes it hard to extract their best ideas. For a boost in that direction, their solid “Inclusion Initiative” model in the last two chapters provides a strong, workable framework for putting their concepts into action. getAbstract recommends this manual to executives, HR personnel, hiring managers, small-business owners and anyone seeking to make their workplace more profitable through diversity. This topic is of pivotal importance in an increasingly global and diverse work environment.

Take-Aways

  • The six “dimensions of difference” are “gender, age, sexual orientation, ableness, race and culture/ethnicity.”
  • Focus your internal “Diversity and Inclusion” (D&I) efforts on “employee acquisition, employee retention, productivity and innovation.”
  • Sustainable change relies on a realignment of values at the “individual, group/team, organization and marketplace” levels.
