Building a diverse, equitable and inclusive organization is not only the right thing to do for society, it's the right thing to do for the business. Productivity, engagement and profitability all improve with a more inclusive workplace.
Written for all HR professionals, talent managers and leaders concerned with inclusion in their organization, The Inclusion Journey explains how to identify the actions that will make real impact, implement meaningful change, track and report on progress and build diversity and inclusion strategies that result in long-term growth.
This practical book allows readers to assess their company's current situation when it comes to diversity and inclusion and define their objectives for the future. It also shows how to produce a prioritized action plan that will enable the business to work towards its goals and track the progress along the way. It covers everything from the business benefits of inclusion and the current inclusion gaps in the organization, through to assembling the right people and resources needed to close these gaps. There is also guidance on how to get stakeholder buy-in for EDI activity and advice on how to link diversity and inclusion goals to overall business objectives.
Packed full of real world examples, interviews, exercises and checklists throughout, there are also downloadable worksheets to provide practitioners with everything they need to see the business benefits of inclusion in practice and have the tools they need to achieve these in their own organization.

"I hoped this would be a game-changing book to help us on our diversity and inclusion journeys. It exceeded my expectations. It is a brilliantly conceived, evidence-based, challenging, practical and an expertly written guide. It inspires action. The factual and experiential style and format are refreshing and opposite to the "ticking boxes" approach. Inclusion is not enough - everyone belonging is the aim. It's a must-read for every leader and leadership group. The business benefits from taking the actions described are proven and well worth the challenges and costs."
"To be included and to feel we belong is one of our most basic human needs. This book outlines in great detail a map of how we can offer this to all employees from all backgrounds. A must for anyone who believes this subject is important but needs help building momentum. I love how practical and easy to read this book is."
"There are so many informative and educational moments in the text that do not preach, but allow space for exploration and reflection, empowering you to take a beat, to challenge yourself to improve a little more. Even when you feel you might have cracked it, this book reminds you that the journey is not complete. The desire is to reach the destination, but the journey is always more important as this is where in this book, you will learn so much more about yourself and your relationship with inclusion."
"The authors have done an incredible job breaking down the steps into practical actions to help any organization implement an inclusive culture. Their writing style is easy to read, and you feel like they are advising you directly. It's a must-read for leaders who care about their colleagues and those who are ready to be intentional and take effective action so they can create a space where everyone can thrive."
"As a disabled disrupter, the journey from exclusion to inclusion has been long. This book makes me bounce. It sets out the same route map for business, provides the why and delivers on how it can be done and at speed."
"This is a brilliant book for anyone wanting to create a culture of inclusivity in their organization. It's absolutely jam packed with practical tools and advice to help managers communicate and implement inclusivity strategies. It should be required reading for every human who works with other humans."
"EDI must be taken seriously, by people, policy and processes. So it's good to see the team at Watch This Sp_ce taking the initiative and writing a comprehensive guide which will make a difference in the working space. This is about showing up, speaking out and knowing, as they say, that diversity is not a black-or-white issue but impacts us all. I would recommend that companies take a read and reference their actions - lets create the change together."
