Description
Book SynopsisDespite the increased push for equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in recent years, such initiatives still remain a secondary part of many businesses’ organisational focus. However, an effective EDI strategy has the potential to create tangible long-term benefits that go beyond social media solidarity and statistical appearances, enhancing employee productivity and satisfaction, improving organisational performance and fostering the dynamism needed to think critically and creatively in today’s competitive global market.
Highlighting concepts and practices across a variety of global contexts, Contemporary Approaches in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion features topics such as mindfulness, employee perceptions, Industry 4.0, bottom-up strategy, global entrepreneurship and flexible working. Rooted in strategic and technological perspectives, chapters share specific examples, proving how inclusive, digitally oriented discourses can be nurtured to create powerful change.
Encouraging individuals to adapt and businesses to reshape their resources, capabilities and everyday practices, this book grounds the contemporary workplace in an EDI mindset that looks beyond temporary pressures and trends to a strong, inclusive future.
