Supporting diversity and inclusion is also a prerequisite for capitalizing on the ideas that diverse people can bring to your organization.

Most diversity practices used by organizations do not actually promote inclusion, and exclusion continues to exist. There's a better way to achieve inclusion, and it starts with "the Inclusion Revolution is Now."

Much of the research in the area of telework has been more enthusiastic and optimistic than dependable. This book presents objective descriptions and experiences of telework, instead of focusing on boosterism of proponents' theories or the unexamined skepticism of naysayers. Vega specifically questions the wholesale adoption of telework as recommended by its advocates. She examines the impact of telework on the worker, as well as benefits to the employer. Telework might not be the answer to all problems, but Vega's close examination concludes with an upbeat description of what can happen--and has happened--in the best of circumstances.

A Conscious Person's Guide to the Workplace is a unique compendium that incorporates a wide range of insights and high-leverage principles about the nature of work, organizations, leadership and change. Distilled from over four decades of workplace experience, it effectively integrates concepts and maxims from the fields of: business management, organizational development, anthropology, biological science, cosmology, psychology, quantum physics, sociology, human consciousness, and various schools of spiritual practice.

The Guide is a practical and powerful resource for creating workplaces that evoke and engage the human spirit in pursuit of a world that works for all. The concepts and principles have been field tested and proven to work, in some cases over millennia. During the last two decades, the author and his colleagues successfully used them to create an enterprise that was nationally recognized for its culture, innovation and effectiveness.

Using this remarkable resource to transform a workplace is relatively simple, but challenging: Hold the concepts and principles as compass and guide, then deal openly and forthrightly with whatever arises. Through this process, workplaces become enterprises where people "show up" to co-create the kind of experiences, organizations and world that are right, good, and desirable.

This edited collection examines human resource management in organizations other than those that are set up to make a profit. Covering human resource management in a number of different kinds of mission-driven organizations, the book explores organizations in sectors and industries such as the governmental and intergovernmental public sector, volunteer organizations and charities, religious organizations, cultural organizations, sports organizations and B-corporations. Recognizing the reality of management practice in the (many small) organizations covered by the book, the chapters deal with the way that people are actually managed whether or not there is an HRM department present. Students of business management and human resource management will find this book invaluable as a source of knowledge on not for profit organizations, as many of the chapters include detailed examples and case studies.

Visual and multimedia digital technologies are transforming the practice of law: how lawyers construct and argue their cases, present evidence to juries, and communicate with each other. They are also changing how law is disseminated throughout and used by the general public. What are these technologies, how are they used and perceived in the courtroom and in wider culture, and how do they affect legal decision making?

In this comprehensive survey and analysis of how new visual technologies are transforming both the practice and culture of American law, Neal Feigenson and Christina Spiesel explain how, when, and why legal practice moved from a largely words-only environment to one more dependent on and driven by images, and how rapidly developing technologies have further accelerated this change. They discuss older visual technologies, such as videotape evidence, and then current and future uses of visual and multimedia digital technologies, including trial presentation software and interactive multimedia. They also describe how law itself is going online, in the form of virtual courts, cyberjuries, and more, and explore the implications of law's movement to computer screens. Throughout Law on Display, the authors illustrate their analysis with examples from a wide range of actual trials.
