Total Inclusivity at Work - Paperback

by Stephen Whitehead (Author)

Despite inclusivity's importance and most people's desire for it, understanding inclusivity can be tricky. This book introduces the concept of Total Inclusivity to organisations, their leaders and employees around the world. It aims to help organisations and those people who create them to become Totally Inclusive Communities, wherein diversity is valued, healthy identities are enabled, respect for difference prevails and every member counts - regardless of their identity mix.

The book provides insights into how identity works and defines Total Inclusivity as concept and practice. Whitehead suggests what organisations can do to safeguard and nurture diverse organisational identities. The book also provides easy-to-follow guidelines on how we can implement Total Inclusivity in organisation through individuals.

Written in an accessible style, while informed by contemporary research into the self, organisations and identities, this book will not only guide organizational members - owners, CEOs, leaders, managers, administrators and every staff member - along the pathway to creating a Totally Inclusive Community, it will establish a bold and provocative ethical standard for organisations to follow as they venture further into this century.
