A diverse workforce is one of your greatest assets, yet precious few companies have learned to leverage its power. Beyond recruitment and hiring, many businesses fall short when it comes to retention and motivation of the diverse workforce they worked so hard to employ.
Leveraging Diversity at Work goes beyond calling for diversity to give business leaders the knowledge and tools they need to profit from our differences. Minority workers will also find real-world inspiration for contributing to their company’s vision, mission and success.
This book helps companies who understand the value of diversity to build, retain and leverage the diverse workforce they need to be competitive in this country, as well as the global market. The book starts in the very beginning where most books and training programs don’t. Before any executive can implement long term organizational change, the company must ensure the cooperation and conviction of its employees. I am reminded of the saying, “If you think you are leading and no one is following, then you are just out for a walk.”
Professional Reviews
A must read for all companies
Leraging Diversity is an excellent book that gives an honest assessment of why it is important to diversify the work place. It openly discusses how although a lot of companies say they do diversify some possible ways they may be failing. It is written from both the clinical perspective as well as the business perspective. It is also written from the minority perspective and the majority perspective. I strongly recommend this book for all complanies. Deborah D. Street, LICSW

How diversity is good for business
This book is a great lesson on how diversity can help your business. It shows that not only is diversity the right thing to do but to survive in the 21st century you will need workers from all backgrounds to feel that they are appreciated and that they are a part of a team. You will see the importance of hiring what your company needs, not hiring people just like yourself. You will see the necessity of having a diverse workplace to both attract high performers of all ethnic backgrounds but also reflecting your customer base so all people will feel comfortable doing business with you. My company has had great success opening up the playing field to everyone, with our top managers now reflective of all minorities. It is truly a great place to work when everyone feels like they are valued as people and job promotions are based on merit. It sometimes opens up your talent pool from 25% of the population to 100%. I learned a lot from this book about cultural differences and how we think our culture is normal but there are different ways to get results, and the majority cultures way is just one way. This book will really open your eyes to the way the world really is whether you belong to the majority or minority, you will learn how to leverage diversity and be successful. (The authors are also consultants and can help your company personally if you are just beginning on this path).
