Belonging at Work

The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) landscape has never been more challenging. However, despite resistance, creating an inclusive culture of belonging at work remains just as important.

Designed to help senior practitioners understand the factors fuelling DEI resistance, Belonging at Work offers strategies for reframing the narrative to address concerns, bridge divides, and counter misinformation. Full of advice on how to engage sceptics, build resilience, navigate difficult conversations, and maintain momentum in the face of fatigue and opposition, this book also provides essential guidance on how to embed DEI into organizational DNA. With practical approaches for integrating DEI across the employee lifecycle from hiring through to leadership development, this is a practical roadmap for building a culture of belonging in your organisation.

There is also advice on how to ensure alignment between DEI strategies and broader business objectives as well as how to design DEI programmes that are sustainable over the long term. This book provides expert coverage of how to leverage data and technology to measure what matters in diversity and inclusion activity, how to identify gaps, and how to navigate intersectionality and individuality at work. Full of real-world examples from companies including Adidas, Reebok, The Telegraph and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and written by a leading voice in the DEI community, this is an essential book for all business leaders, senior HR professionals, and DEI experts.
