Building an Inclusive OrganisationLeveraging the power of diverse workforce

By Stephen Frost and Raafi Alidina

About

A diverse workforce is a business imperative. Without it, companies are made up of employees who come from the same background and have the same skills and, therefore, the same blind spots. A diverse workforce brings together different strengths, a variety of experiences, a huge breadth of knowledge and a wealth of creative problem-solving techniques. However, in order to leverage the benefits of this diverse workforce, businesses must be inclusive. Inclusion ensures that employees feel supported, are treated fairly and are therefore happier, more engaged and more productive. Building an Inclusive organisation is a practical guide to creating an environment of real inclusion. It explains how to remove unconscious bias from company processes including recruitment and selection, how to make the case for D&I to all stakeholders and how to embed inclusion into an organisation’s culture and overall business strategy.

Packed with case studies from organisations including KPMG, Uber, Salesforce, Harvard University and the UK National Health Service (NHS), Building an Inclusive organisation shows how to implement robust processes and policies to foster D&I in organisations of any size, and in all sectors, including the creative industry, finance, tech, and academia and foundations. Guidance and advice is also provided on how to use ‘nudges’ to change behaviours and overcome bias, how to achieve transparency and accountability, and how to measure, review and evaluate inclusion.
