Inclusion and Diversity isn't a fad or the latest business initiative. It's not a tick box exercise and it's so much more than the now annual reporting requirements of disparity in pay. Ultimately – it's here for good!
For a real and sustainable difference to be made, organisations need to adopt a more holistic approach to Inclusion and Diversity. This however requires focus, a break with ingrained traditions, a shift in mindsets, a re-design of organisational culture and a change in leadership behaviour.
Teresa's unique tribe5 Diversity & Inclusion™ methodology set out in this book provides Board Directors and their Leadership Teams with a path to follow, enabling them to take Inclusion and Diversity off the 'too difficult' pile and move forward with confidence.
