hgkc Book Club - why is inclusion better for everyone?

The theme of this year's Book Club is working together better, because that’s the way businesses become more successful. We believe that businesses are primarily the relationships between the people in the business, and between them and their clients, suppliers and other stakeholders. These relationships create the culture of the business, and this culture determines in large measure how successful the business can be.If a business wants to be more successful, it is very desirable for it to seek to maximise the quality of people’s relationships in the business.This year’s books approach this subject from many angles. Some of the books are not related specifically to the workplace, and that’s because relationships work in similar ways irrespective of the context. The trick is to apply the general content of the books to the particular context of the workplace. What can we learn from these books and from each other?

Putting the spotlight on groups who are often marginalised in our society, including women, ethnic minorities, those living with disabilities, and the LGBTQ+ community, Diversify uncovers the hidden cost of exclusion and shows how a new approach to how we learn, live and do business can solve some of the most stubborn challenges we face.

With unshakeable case studies, brand-new research from Oxford University, and six revolutionary steps to help you overcome unconscious bias, this book will help you become part of a better society.

The old way isn’t working. This is a case for change.
