How to get your act together A judgement-free guide to diversity and inclusion for straight white men

Felicity Hassan

Book - 2021

"Lead meaningful and positive change in your organisation 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 afraid to make mistakes, and confused about the evolving language of diversity and inclu...sion. In this revolutionary 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 tricky territory with humour and heart. This judgement-free guide will educate, empower and embolden you to create a workplace where anyone can be themselves, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, class or disability - and eventually, to change the face of business for the better"--Publisher's description.

Review by Booklist Review

The phrase life isn't fair is usually thrown around to indicate that nothing can be changed, and a situation is hopeless. In How to Get Your Act Together, authors Hassan and Sandhu counter that, showing readers how awareness and action can alter the unconscious behaviors that lead to unfair workplace dynamics and, instead, establish equitable conditions. They provide prompts for reflection, opportunities to initiate conversations ranging from low to high stakes, concrete steps for taking action, and implementation strategies leading to outcomes ingrained in organizational culture. The message guides straight, white, cisgender men as they embark on a leadership journey, moving beyond basic inclusion trainings to embedded and equitable policies and procedures and workplace culture that strives for a more creative, productive, innovative, and profitable company. An abundance of shared resources invites the reader never to stop learning, rather to delve deeply into this work with plentiful strategies to match their circumstances. Recommended for academic (particularly business-school) and public-library collections as well as professional collections in school libraries.
