Though there has been an exponential increase in interest in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), particularly as it relates to workplace environments and higher education teaching, recently, there has been a wave of DEI resistance posing challenges for leaders and educators alike. This two-volume set offers theoretical and practical knowledge about how to effectively implement DEI in organizations and into management curriculum.

Volume 1 focuses on the challenges of managing DEI in organizations, such as creating effective and legally defensible DEI policies and practices, maintaining positive DEI organizational climates, and leveraging identities to create synergies and competitive advantages.The book covers topics ranging from the effectiveness of DEI training and programs, impostorization, DEI coaching, and leadership considerations with respect to DEI and remote work. Creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace requires a long-term commitment and a cultural shift that can be challenging to achieve. This book offers researchers and practitioners evidence-based research and strategies for developing and implementing effective DEI policies, practices, and programs.
