Giving Notice: Why the Best and Brightest are Leaving the Workplace and How You Can Help them Stay

by Freada Kapor Klein

A groundbreaking book that offers approaches for changing the hidden biases in the workplace

This is an eye-opening examination of the causes and dynamics of bias in the workplace, offering a psychological, political, and societal analysis of the actual cost of bias to the bottom line. The authors make the hurdles that women and minorities face in the workplace as personal to the reader as they are to those who face them. Giving Notice is filled with sensible approaches for solving the current imbalance and challenges us to rethink unconscious ideas about stereotypes and commonly accepted business practices.

What bad business practices have a $65 billion dollar price tag? Racism, sexism, and sexual orientation discrimination. Eye-opening look at what bad practices cost corporate America. I'd venture to guess the cost is even higher now, as this book was published in 2008.

[Coral Rose · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots of good research. Slightly dated, all pertinent. Focused heavily on businesses in the financial sector, still relevant to the tech scene.

I really appreciate the research put into this book and the lessons shared.
