Equity involves providing equal access, treatment, opportunity, and advancement for every employee, eliminating obstacles to success. JENNIFER BROWN: I have that exact thought when somebody thinks they're doing a little gotcha moment for me with the question about political diversity in the room. While there are so many books that make the business case for DEI, or talk about changing demographics, or acknowledge social justice or corporate social responsibility but seem to dismiss them as essential but think of it as something that is required of them by outside forces. By utilizing an outcome-oriented understanding of DEI, along with a comprehensive foundation of actionable techniques, this no-nonsense guide will lay out the path for anyone with any background to becoming a more effective DEI practitioner, ally, and leader. But I think the outcome that emerged was a spike in employee voice for marginalized groups, especially Black employees.Before starting any EDI work, Zheng lays out how you must determine whether you are a low, medium, or high trust organization. Zheng utilizes a great combination of academic and corporate terminology and approaches as they unpack the reasons why current DEI strategies don’t always work.

DEI Deconstructed analyzes how current methods and best practices leave marginalized people feeling frustrated and unconvinced of their leaders' sincerity, and offers a roadmap that bridges the neatness of theory with the messiness of practice. I would love to hear how you articulate what is the opportunity that we all face when we consider it in that way?
