Title: Exclusion
Description: "Exclusion: Strategies for Improving Diversity in Recruitment, Retention and Promotion examines how micro-inequities - the subtle actions that make an employee feel like an outsider in the workplace - impact today's professional work environments. This book provides a Top Ten list of these micro-inequities that can be found in a range of work-related areas, including group effectiveness, recruitment and retention, promotion, and discrimination lawsuits, among others. Through interviews with both senior level and mid-career professionals, Exclusion provides examples of the micro-inequities that have created cultures of exclusion for many employees based on a characteristic that made him or her an outsider: age, race, gender, accent, ethnicity, disability, and/or socio-economic background. As a result, readers will have a new framework for understanding behaviors that often fly under the radar and that make some employees great leaders while others plateau and wither. Finally, Exclusion presents best practices and strategies for eliminating those micro-inequities and thereby ensuring that outsiders feel more fully accepted and integrated into their work environment"--Unedited summary from book jacket.
