Written by Tom Bristacus

Narrated by Tom Bristacus

Join us on a journey to become DE&I champions! In this book, we'll dive into what Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is all about and why it matters in the workplace. With easy-to-understand definitions, you'll see how DE&I is like peanut butter and jelly, and we'll explore the benefits of creating a workplace that celebrates differences.
Next, we'll get the DE&I party started! As a leader, you'll learn about your important role in promoting DE&I, best practices for leading a diverse and inclusive team, and how to get your employees excited about DE&I, even the skeptics. We'll take a look at your workplace and offer strategies for creating a culture of inclusiveness and employee engagement in DE&I initiatives.
Unconscious bias is a sneaky beast, but don't worry, we've got you covered! We'll explore what unconscious bias is and how it can negatively impact the workplace. With tools and tricks, you'll learn how to break free from unconscious bias and create a workplace that's open to everyone.
Finally, we'll take a deep dive into intercultural communication, exploring the importance of clear communication, common challenges, and how to get your message across without any awkwardness. Keeping the DE&I ball rolling is key, and we'll provide metrics that matter for measuring progress, and ways to keep the momentum going and keep improving. So come along for the ride, and let's make the workplace a better place for everyone!
In this book, you'll find not only an enlightening journey through the world of DE&I, but also practical tools and activities to help you bring those lessons to life in your own workplace. One such tool is the "Leader's DE&I Checklist," which provides a weekly framework for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in your team. And for a fun and engaging way to raise awareness and build skills, try out one of the team games, such as the one aimed at understanding intercultural communication issues, or the one aimed at busting unconscious bias.
