"Too many companies don't know how to walk the walk of diversity,
equity, and inclusion. Getting to Diversity shows them how." -Lori
George Billingsley, former Global Chief DEI Officer, Coca-Cola
Company In an authoritative, data-driven account, two of the
world's leading management experts challenge dominant approaches to
increasing workplace diversity and provide a comprehensive account
of what really works. Every year America becomes more diverse, but
change in the makeup of the management ranks has stalled. The
problem has become an urgent matter of national debate. How do we
fix it? Bestselling books preach moral reformation. Employers,
however well intentioned, follow guesswork and whatever their peers
happen to be doing. Arguing that it's time to focus on changing
systems rather than individuals, two of the world's leading experts
on workplace diversity show us a better way in the first
comprehensive, data-driven analysis of what succeeds and what
fails. The surprising results will change how America works. Frank
Dobbin and Alexandra Kalev draw on more than thirty years of data
from eight hundred companies as well as in-depth interviews with
managers. The research shows just how little companies gain from
standard practice: sending managers to diversity training to reveal
their biases, then following up with hiring and promotion rules,
and sanctions, to shape their behavior. Almost nothing changes.
It's time, Dobbin and Kalev argue, to focus on changing the
management systems that make it hard for women and people of color
to succeed. They show us how the best firms are pioneering new
recruitment, mentoring, and skill training systems, and
implementing strategies for mixing segregated work groups to
increase diversity. They explain what a difference ambitious
work-life programs make. And they argue that as firms adopt new
systems, the key to making them work is to make them accessible to
all-not just the favored few. Powerful, authoritative, and driven
by a commitment to change, Getting to Diversity is the book we need
now to address constructively one of the most fraught challenges in
American life.
