Turning Dei Goals Into Reality

In today's dynamic organisational landscape, striving for a diverse workforce does not automatically translate into an inclusive workplace. The book provides practical insights and hands-on tools for how everyone can work towards an organisation that is more inclusive, diverse, equitable, accessible, and ultimately more enjoyable for all.

The model presented in the book has already been successfully applied within organisations and can have impact straight away. If you’re in HR, you can read the chapter on inclusive HR, and start changing processes and systems today. If you are in communications, you can read the chapter about inclusive communication and begin immediately. Through providing a holistic, integrated approach for recognising and then transforming – old and ingrained – systems and mechanisms, as well as adapting human behaviour and ways of thinking, this book helps readers to take tangible and impactful steps in creating an inclusive organisation.

The book is relevant to anyone looking for a guide to implement DEI practice immediately – in HR, in communications, in consulting, in research, in organisational coaching, and in the boardroom.
