Summary

"Netta's practical blueprint for how to implement DEI into an organization will be transformational to leaders and employees alike."
—Marc Lore, Former CEO of Walmart; NBA Owner, Minnesota Timberwolves; Founder of Telosa

A practical hands-on and revolutionary DEI formula for real and lasting change.

DEI is an 8-billion dollar industry that is not yet accessing its full potential through real solutions and results. However, through a powerful formula of policies and practices that motivate employees to be more socially and self-aware, The Inclusive Organization is a revolutionary yet practical resource for individuals at any stage of their career. Jenkins discusses human behavior, workplace psychology, and shares her DEI-tested framework for success. You'll read about:

• The "how" of DEI implementation with actionable steps
• Creating your own customized DEI roadmap with worksheet examples and toolkits
• Stories and firsthand observations that bring to life important concepts

Many employees across all levels and organizations are looking to drive actionable impact, but unfortunately lack the knowledge and support in doing so. This book will help any organization improve their DEI initiatives and create the sustainable and scalable change employees want to see within their workplace. Readers will be able to utilize worksheet examples and toolkits out of this book to build their own DEI roadmap. The Inclusive Organization is a must-read for any workplace committed to real and lasting change.
