by Netta Jenkins

DEI is an 8-billion dollar industry that is not yet accessing its full potential through real solutions and results. However, through a powerful formula of policies and practices that motivate employees to be more socially and self-aware, The Inclusive Organization provides a revolutionary yet practical resource for individuals at any stage of their career. Employees across all levels and organizations are looking to drive actionable impact, but unfortunately lack the knowledge and support in doing so. This book will help any organization improve their DEI initiatives and create the sustainable and scalable change employees want to see within their workplace. Readers will be able to utilize worksheet examples and toolkits out of this book to build their own customized DEI roadmap. The Inclusive Organization is a must-read for any workplace committed to real and lasting change.

Often forgotten in the quest to improve organizational DEI initiatives is the real-world impact that improving diversity, equity, and inclusion can have on a company’s bottom line. The latest research has again shown that diverse and inclusive companies earn more revenue and increase margins even as they become fairer and more equitable places to work.

In The Inclusive Organization: Real Solutions, Impactful Change, and Meaningful Diversity, celebrated diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) expert, Netta Jenkins, delivers a timely and hands-on resource designed to help people and organizations improve DEI initiatives and scale them throughout a company. Using included worksheet examples and toolkits, you’ll create your own, customized DEI roadmap you can apply immediately. The techniques discussed within are ideal for changing your company’s culture and aligning it with the future of business and commerce.

The author clearly explains the “how” of DEI implementation, showing you actionable steps that have increased diversity in real companies and can do the same in yours. She uses a combination of inspired and vulnerable storytelling and firsthand observations to bring to life important concepts, frameworks, and strategies that drive successful DEI initiatives. You’ll also find a complete formula for DEI improvement that works at any company, large or small, and in virtually any sector or industry.
