Reviews

[Sarah]

Useful for reviewing legal obligations and case studies involving protected classes prior to the new federal cases involving the expansion of sex discrimination to include sexual orientation and gender identity which happened summer 2015. Offers little in terms of best practices and strategies for inclusion iniatives. While it discusses many paradigms it does not get past the Access-and-Legitamacy Paradigm with most cases as emphasis is overwhelmingly on the bottom line. Some helpful self and organizational asessement guidelines in the last chapter.

A great companion book to Women & Men in Management.
