Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Work is a comprehensive, accessible text focusing on DEI and how they influence employees’ access to work, their experiences in the workplace, and the outcomes for teams and organizations. The book examines the differences in opportunities and experiences among different groups as well as the ways managers can create more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces. The book takes a multilevel approach and breaks down the issues to consider the micro-, meso-, and macro-level factors of DEI.

The book is structured around three parts. The first section offers an overview of the foundations of DEI, including an overview and its relevance for aspiring managers, theoretical tenets of diversity, research in the area, and the constructs of bias. In the second section, the author examines the various forms of diversity, including race, gender, age, disability, appearance, sexual orientation and gender identity, religion, and social class. The final part supports the reader in thinking through strategies for reducing bias, creating diverse and inclusive workplaces, and ways organizations can impact the DEI in their communities.

Pedagogical features include the following:

DEI at Work cases to open each chapter DEI in Practice to connect theory to real-life examples Different Point of View boxes to present alternative perspectives Expert Perspectives to hear from professionals in the field Further reading and web resources to take extended learning opportunities Review questions to test knowledge
