Abstract:
"Allies and Advocates: Creating an Inclusive and Equitable Culture is about inclusion in everyday business life. Inclusion and diversity are topics that touch everything we do. For us to move away from the age of racial discrimination and injustice, we need everyone involved and everyone to know how they should show up to support BIPOC at work and beyond. This book provides straightforward information and action items to make any workplace more inclusive. A lot of books are not simple enough and they don't use accessible examples. Allies and Advocates simplifies complex topics, gives real-world examples, and provides tactics to help everyone see their own role in creating an inclusive work environment."-- Provided by publisher.
