Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace: Developing DEI Solutions
Struggling to effectively implement your DEI framework? Here’s the help you
According to data from McKinsey (2022), 70% of companies believe diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts are “extremely critical.” Yet, only 34% of organizations have enough resources to implement DEI initiatives.
There’s obviously a mismatch and the reason for this is clear.
While DEI has become one of the trendy PR moves companies do to create good publicity, many of them still don’t have a firm grasp on what it actually means.
It goes beyond just hiring a token person of a different race, gender, or age, or posting some slogans on your office walls. It’s not just about having a DEI policy that you have on your website, or an annual training program employees are required to take.
Successful DEI needs to be an all-encompassing culture within the company that is understood and applied by all.
But this requires deep work that many companies often struggle with. That’s where this book can help.
It will help you formulate a plan for creating and implementing truly effective DEI programs and figure out solutions to address DEI issues in your organization.
No doubt, DEI is good for business – from attracting and keeping talent to boosting profits. And if you want to reap its benefits, your company will need to prioritize it.
In this guide, you´ll
The true meaning of diversity, equity, and inclusion and their importance in the workplaceAgeism, beauty bias, name bias, and other unconscious biases you need to work on Effective techniques for modifying behavior, policies, and practices to create a more equitable workplace environmentThe costs of not having a DEI strategy and the financial benefits of having one – reputational problems are the least of your worriesSimple ways to determine the behaviors and beliefs you value as a company, and how to encourage these values in your employeesHow to find DEI champions to support the successful implementation of the DEI framework across the board8 ways to effectively promote and communicate your DEI framework to the entire workforceEasy-to-follow methods to track your progress and create meaningful ways to acknowledge it6 common mistakes leaders make with DEI initiatives and how not to repeat them A DEI checklist to assess how your company and the various departments within it, are implementing your DEI policy
And much more!
What use is having a DEI policy if your company is only doing it to tick a box?
Beyond fulfilling obligations and scoring a PR win, management and employees need to truly internalize the values and goals of DEI to ensure that your company is a safe and fair workplace for anyone, regardless of differences.
There is strength in diversity, and your company will only benefit from creating a culture of acceptance and belonging.

A timely and essential read for anyone who has a job! More focused toward individuals in the business world, however, being that I am in education, there are still many applicable concepts. This book offers valuable insight into the often misunderstood topic of DEI. When thoughtfully & proactively implemented, DEI initiatives can significantly enhance workplace culture, boost efficiency, and improve employee retention. Who wouldn’t want to learn more about this topic?!?! Or the real question is WHY are many people so afraid of it…?

Great book!
This book is well written and well researched! Wilson does an amazing job explaining what DEI looks like in the workplace. One of my favorite lines was: “Setting DEI objectives needs to go further than placing a plan on paper so that it will look good. It needs to be sewn within the company’s values and objectives to be something the organization believes in and wants to work toward.”

i’m here for it
This is a pretty hot topic so I’m impressed that this author took the initiative to produce this book. There’s a lot of things to think about when it comes to adding diversity into the workplace and making it easy and comfortable and natural for everyone. I like the idea is this author presents although I don’t necessarily agree with all of them because some of them seem forest and awkward. Aside from that, good book.
