With practical approaches for integrating DEI across the employee lifecycle form hiring through to leadership development, this is a practical roadmap for building a culture of belonging in your organization.

There is also advice on how to ensure alignment between DEI strategies and broader business objectives as well as how to design DEI programs that are sustainable over the long term. This book also provides expert coverage of how to leverage data and technology to measure what matters in diversity and inclusion activity, how to identify gaps and how to navigate intersectionality and individuality at work. Full of real-world examples from companies including Adidas, Reebok, The Telegraph and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and written by a leading voice in the DEI community, this is an essential book for all business leaders, senior HR professionals and DEI experts.
