Written by a trio of seasoned, passionate experts, this is not just another book of DEI theory. Instead, it gets to the heart of implementing meaningful, evidence based DEI systemic change from the ground up. This rich collection of personal insights, case studies, strategies and tools show you how to tangibly integrate DEI into the fabric of organisations, building resilience and adaptability alongside an ongoing career with purpose.
