Financial Times Guide to Inclusion and Diversity, The Reviews

This is the book I was always looking for!! When I first started my D&I journey I had so many questions and this book expertly answers all of them. It lays out all the steps to build a successful D&I program in a way that is easy to understand. The mix of interviews and theory lets me know that I am not alone in what sometimes feels like a lonely path. The focus on behaviours will help D&I practitioners create safe spaces to have the hard but necessary conversations. This is the perfect companion for any D&I practitioner. Vusa Tebe, D&I Practitioner This book decodes the very topical subject of I&D, in an engaging, easy read. It not only provides loads of insights, but great practical tips. We are living in a time of change. We need to build back better. Business has to be sustainable to survive and inclusion for all is at the heart of this. I recommend it to leaders and practitioners alike - time is ticking down to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 where no one is left behind. Richard Poston, Chief Executive Officer and Founder at Kodiak Communications Ltd This book is a great practical guide. It gives clear tangibles on how to take action, and steps to take to make real impact. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to learn about inclusion and diversity and making a difference. Nikki Walker, CEO, Quality Compliance Systems (QCS) A truly inspiring read on how to drive meaningfully sustainable change by seeing diversity as the art of thinking independently together, and a sense of belonging as the heartbeat that drives inclusion. With diversity and inclusion being so imperative to personal, business, social, and economic growth I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to get into the topic. Caroline Frankum, CEO, Profiles Division, Kantar
