How to kickstart your Equality Diversity & Inclusion journey in six simple steps

This book aims to deal with the first question-how to get started and make an impact, fast. In terms of what more can be done, the answer is - a lot. Much more definitely needs to be done to achieve equity in the workplace for minority groups. If we look at recent global incidents, such as Covid-19 and the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, we can see clearly that more needs to be done to ensure that equity, rather than equality, is the order of the day. This book looks at how you can get started on your EDI journey and identifies six areas that can get you started. There is no mystique or complicated formula and I will show you how to make that journey straightforward and uncomplicated. The old Chinese proverb ’a journey of one thousand miles starts with a single step’ may be well used, but it is very true. I have lived the experience myself. Waiting for the perfect moment, or for the leadership team to act, does not work. If you know it has to be done, do it! Be the change agent.
