Litigation, costly turnover, lost business, discrimination - these are the penalties workplace bias exacts from American business-penalties that companies cannot afford to pay. Calling on her 25 years of experience in the field, diversity expert Dr. Sondra Thiederman has found a way to prevent these losses by providing executives and managers with a step-by-step strategy for minimizing bias and maximizing the ability to effectively manage diversity. To that end-and ignoring the stifling rules of political correctness - Dr. Thiederman dissects the problems surrounding diversity in the workplace and offers specific, do-able strategies focused on creating individual change. Using real-life examples, practical tips, and exercises, she guides readers on a journey of self-discovery, intellectual awareness, and healing. The workplace and personal anecdotes in "Making Diversity Work" have been obtained from a research survey conducted by the author.
"Making Diversity Work" outlines: how to see people more accurately and, therefore, to function more effectively and feel more comfortable in a diverse workplace; seven steps to defeat biases; how to accurately identify biased attitudes; tools to help confront the fears that underlie biases; and skills to communicate effectively when faced with diversity-related conflict. Women or men, black or white, gay or straight, immigrant or native-born - everyone has prejudices. "Making Diversity Work" shifts the dialogue from blame to emphasis on the responsibility everyone shares to rid the workplace of bias. Dr. Thiederman delivers the prescription to defeat bias in the workplace in this definitive book for executives, managers, human resources professionals, and diversity practitioners."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
