Belonging: The Key to Transforming and Maintaining Diversity, Inclusion and Equality at Work
Autor Sue Unerman, Kathryn Jacob, Mark Edwardsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 mai 2022
Considerăm că marea eroare a strategiilor de diversitate din ultimele decenii a fost excluderea, intenționată sau nu, a bărbaților din conversație. Belonging demontează mitul conform căruia incluziunea este o problemă exclusiv feminină sau a minorităților, demonstrând că stagnarea progresului în companii mari precum cele din FTSE 100 se datorează faptului că bărbații aflați la putere se simt adesea amenințați sau neinvitați să participe. Recomandăm această lucrare ca pe un instrument pragmatic de transformare a rezistenței în parteneriat activ.
Autorii Kathryn Jacob, Sue Unerman și Mark Edwards propun o structură riguroasă, bazată pe date colectate din peste 200 de organizații globale. Cartea nu se limitează la teorie, ci progresează de la analiza eșecurilor actuale (capitolul „What is going on?”) către soluții aplicabile („Belonging in action”) și, esențial, către o introspecție necesară liderilor în capitolul dedicat călătoriei interioare. Față de lucrarea anterioară a autoarelor, The Glass Wall, care se concentra pe barierele invizibile pentru femei, Belonging extinde perspectiva, integrând vocea masculină și mindfulness-ul ca pârghii pentru o cultură organizațională sănătoasă.
Cititorul care a aplicat ideile din Inclusive Leadership de Charlotte Sweeney va găsi aici piesa lipsă: mecanismul concret prin care diversitatea încetează să fie un indicator de bifat și devine un avantaj competitiv real. În timp ce How To Get Your Act Together de Felicity Hassan subliniază cazul de afaceri pentru D&I, Belonging merge mai departe, oferind limbajul și instrumentele necesare pentru a crea aliați din cei care, până acum, au stat pe margine.

De ce să citești această carte
Această carte este esențială pentru liderii și managerii care doresc să depășească faza declarațiilor de intenție. Cititorul va învăța cum să implice majoritatea masculină în procesele de schimbare, transformând reticența în sprijin activ. Câștigați o strategie validată prin interviuri la nivel înalt, care transformă cultura biroului într-un spațiu unde performanța este susținută de sentimentul autentic de apartenență al fiecărui angajat.

Descriere
"The most important business book of the year" - EsquireThere's never been more discussion around diversity and inclusion in the workplace. From gender pay gaps and the #MeToo movement to Black Lives Matter, it seems that every organization has finally recognised that lasting change needs to happen.Various studies show that the most successful and productive senior management teams are those which are truly diverse and eclectic. Yet there remains only 8 female CEOs of FTSE 100 boards, and only 10 BAME people working in leadership roles across companies in the FTSE 100. While there has been a clear shift in attitudes, actual progress towards more inclusive workspaces has been excruciatingly slow and, in some cases, has ground to a halt. Following extensive research and interviews at over 200 international businesses, Kathryn Jacob, Sue Unerman and Mark Edwards have discovered one major problem that is holding back the move towards greater diversity: why aren't the men getting involved?Most men are not engaged with D&I initiatives in the workplace - at one extreme they may be feeling actively hostile and threatened by the changing cultural landscape. But others may be unmotivated to change - recognising the abstract benefits of diversity but not realising what's in it for them. The time for change is long past. Belonging is the call to action we need today -the tool to turn the men in power into allies as we battle discrimination, harassment, pay gaps, and structural racism and patriarchy at every level of the workplace. The lessons in this book will help us work together to build a better workplace where everyone feels they belong.

Recenzii
At a time when things need to change, and change fast, the authors of Belonging have written a new guidebook for running businesses today. Current leaders - and those who hope to become leaders - will gain critical and actionable insights on diversity and inclusion from this important book.
Creating a sense of belonging should be a priority for every leader. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in creating happier, more productive and more effective workplaces.
Belonging is full of brilliantly practical advice for anyone who is seeking to improve the culture of their team or business. It should be required reading for first time managers to FTSE 100 CEOs.
Written by a triumvirate of serious leadership thinkers who understand and practice the value - and values - of equality diversity and inclusion; and can evidence the tangible business benefits of Belonging from their own direct experience.
Belonging, as the title suggests, is a book for everyone. It confronts the elephant in the room - that many men feel personally under threat as a result of the diversity conversation - with empathy, tact and practical advice on how businesses can work to achieve a truly inclusive environment. Read it!
Urgent, important and compelling; Belonging leads us into the next frontier of diversity and inclusion. It proves that "belonging" is the most powerful proof of diversity being recognized and valued in a way that emboldens us all to reclaim the power of being labelled as different.
Belonging is an important book for anyone who wants to attract and keep diverse talent. It is full of new voices describing the experience of being different and unable to fully participate and contribute at work. It has practical advice that any one of us could implement the next day to make ourselves more aware and inclusive. If you want to stop just talking about inclusion and start doing something about it - this is the book for you.
Belonging never forgets that diversity is not a problem to be solved but an opportunity to be grasped. It's essential reading for anyone who wants to take diversity in their organization from fine words to reality.
Belonging takes a complex and often uncomfortable subject and makes it truly accessible and absolutely achievable by weaving real stories, sharp analysis and practical, business-ready solutions. Whether on day 1 of your career or a 30 year veteran of your profession, buy this book and create the change your organisation, and the world, needs.
A real roadmap oozing with intelligent, tried and tested success strategies that can be implemented right away is just what I would expect from three of the brightest minds in the business. Belonging is a must read for anyone interested in inclusion and self-fulfilment at work - it's honest, practical and really could not have come at a better time, when the need to change culture is urgent and small, incremental shifts just won't cut it.
From the CEO with diversity newly on their agenda to the leader shaping their company culture, Belonging is a must-read. The trio has looked in-depth at real people's experiences and uncovered practical steps to cultivate more welcoming environments and encourage people from entry-level to the C-suite to bring their authentic selves to work and thrive.
