UNBIAS: Addressing Unconscious Bias at Work

Product Description
Let the CEO of Rework Work help you understand diversity, equity, and inclusion concepts to actively remove bias from the workplace
Dismantling unhealthy workplaces involves much more than talking about it, and more than charts, graphs, and statistics―it requires action. Although it's increasingly common for businesses of all shapes and sizes to appreciate the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace, many are often unaware of bias in the cultures they've created. Others might know there's a problem, but don't know how to properly address it.

From the Inside Flap
The concepts of diversity and inclusion are well-defined. We’ve talked about what they are and how they apply to the workplace. We’ve told everyone why they matter, how they contribute to the bottom line, and what the business case for inclusion is. But the time for talk has long passed. It’s now time for action—paired with strategy.
In UNBIAS, celebrated diversity and inclusion expert and CEO Stacey Gordon delivers a set of practical tools to make the concepts of diversity and inclusion actionable. It provides a framework for addressing unhealthy workplace habits and practices, even where leaders in the company are unaware that bias is a problem within the firm. It offers readers the tools to remove barriers and ensure equity throughout an organization in order to create an environment in which everyone feels they belong.
UNBIAS shows you how to use workplace-proven tools to bring concepts of diversity and equity into the real world, effectively and efficiently. You’ll be able to make your organization accountable for the biased behaviors and practices it allows while showing people how to move towards a more inclusive future.
Perfect for human resources professionals, founders, executives, and managers in a variety of departments, UNBIAS will also earn a place in the libraries of business leaders and employees who hope to make an individual difference in promoting the twin goals of diversity and inclusion at their own companies.
