- Summary
- "Unconscious Bias at Work will help readers to understand diversity, equity, and inclusion concepts and identify them in the workplace to understand where the bias lies within the workplace and provide readers with tools to actively remove barriers. We've defined the concepts; we've talked about what diversity is, what inclusion is, and how the concepts relate to the workplace. We've told everyone why diversity matters, why inclusion matters, and explained with charts, graphs, and statistics about return on investment and the business case for inclusion. But we are beyond talk and data. It's time for action. We need to provide tools to make these concepts actionable. The number one question Gordon receives from prospective clients is "how"? How do they do handle the conversation? How do they authentically discuss race when they've never had to previously? What can they do to be more inclusive? How do they help their employee resource groups (ERGs) without overburdening them with the extra work? Unconscious Bias at Work will answer these questions."--
