Inclusion, Inc. How to Design Intersectional Equity into the Workplace

Inclusion, Inc: How to Design Intersectional Equity into the Workplace moves beyond having tough conversations to deliver an innovative and proven approach to organizational diversity. Eschewing the “mindset-first” approach taken by many diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, author and GEN founder Sara Sanford focuses on countering the systemic barriers that abet inequity by adjusting “cultural levers” to facilitate organization-wide change.

Inclusion, Inc offers sustainable and cost-effective solutions that yield real, measurable returns, supported by:

• Data from thousands of surveys and interviews with executive-level changemakers.
• Case studies from GEN-certified organizations.
• Innovations drawn directly from the latest in behavioral economics and design-centered thinking.

Perfect for business leaders, human resources and DEI professionals, and scholars and students of business, Inclusion, Inc will also prove invaluable to underrepresented employees and their allies seeking real, evidence-based solutions to the dilemma they frequently face: assimilate, or leave.

SARA SANFORD is the Founder of GEN and architect of the GEN Certification, the gold standard for intersectional equity in the workplace. Her insights make her an internationally sought-after speaker and advisor on DEI strategy and communication. She is a popular TED speaker and lecturer at the University of Washington’s School of Information.
