What they are saying
Un-apologizing direct and to the point – while Dr. Star does not leave you guessing around Diversity & Inclusion, she certainly has thought provoking questions about equity. What is more, this book is based on real numbers and return on investment rather than fluff. As the reader I walked away with the right frame for diversity and a framework to drive inclusion. A must read!
-M. Verara -Chief Diversity Officer

Wow – Dr. Star really puts DE&I in perspective! Her writing is witty yet direct with solid examples and solutions that will drive diversity in the workplace. More importantly she writes what needs to be said for the DE&I workspace, based on evidence NOT conjecture. This book is a game changer in the DE&I space!
-Dr. K. Kellerhan

Description
It’s time to stop throwing diversity and inclusion initiatives and programs at the wall to see what sticks or moves the needle within your organization. Instead, let’s focus on evidence-based initiatives that will drive your organization to thrive.

It’s time to focus on the RIGHT needle – Inclusion. An inclusive culture is the foundation for achieving the benefits of diversity – NOT the other way around.

We have been focused on “diversity” in the workplace for well over 60 years, with no evidence that diversity should be the focal point of our efforts, or that there are any business gains from those efforts. Organizations in the US spend well over $80 billion annually on diversity initiatives, according to MIT, yet again with no evidence of the return on investment.

Using a straightforward evidence-based approach rooted in experience and research, Dr. Lauran Star explains that without a culture of inclusion, the benefits of any money spent on improving diversity metrics will be short-lived – and she has the case studies to prove it. If your diverse employees don’t feel valued or included, they will leave. In Evidence-Based Inclusion: It’s Time to Focus on the Right Needle, you’ll learn how your organization can successfully navigate the diversity landscape, avoid falling for the faddish buzzword of the month (“belonging,” anyone?), and create a sustainable inclusion and diversity strategy and culture that brings a true return on investment.

The proven practices and solutions in Dr. Lauran Star’s Inclusion Paradigm will help your organization create a framework for sustainable success. Making the pivot to inclusion will drive more than diversity and equity—it will also drive better organizational growth, performance, job satisfaction, employee retention and more. Inclusion takes the whole organization – not just one person or an overloaded HR department -- and is an ongoing process. Use the Inclusion Paradigm to guide your organization on its inclusion journey.

D & E without Inclusion is NOT ENOUGH and it's time we recognize that truth

D & E without Inclusion is NOT ENOUGH and it's time we recognize that truth
Current events of the last few years (decades) have re-focused the spotlight on the DE&I, with a strong focus on diversity and equity metrics, assuming that where the "right" balance of D & E exists, Inclusion automatically follows. Dr. Star surfaces the fallacy behind this thinking using well-thought-out case studies to argue that Inclusion should be the foundation of any DEI initiative. A must-read for anyone involved in, interested in, or impacted by IDE in the workplace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a typical "dry" DE&I book - deeply educational and funny
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2023
Wanting a deeper understanding of DEI, I purchased this book because I was intrigued that there's more than the diversity terminology we're all too familiar with. Diversity isn't the same as inclusion, and the traits we need to look out for are well under the surface of those that are frequently touted. (there's a great iceberg graphic to show that). I am neuro-diverse, and never considered that as a trait to work with and seeking out those people and what they can bring to the table.

A must for any HR's library looking for forward, recent and relevant-thinking on this topic.

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2022
Brilliantly presented - I am not an HR practitioner. However this book really helped me understand the role of diversity in an organization as well as how inclusion helps foster diversity. The author - in reading her work you can almost hear her talking to you - the stories and tone bring the stories alive. I really enjoyed this read on a difficult topics.

This book provides a wonderful look into the DE&I field. The examples provide a solid understanding of how diversity has failed, and the focus needs to be on inclusion.
