Seize the competitive edge, increase innovation, and do right by people through building equity and diversity into your organizational DNA

Studies continuously prove that companies with more diversity in their ranks are more innovative, serve expanded marketplaces, and perform better financially; however, most companies have yet to develop and implement effective diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives-and pressure to succeed is rapidly increasing.

All Are Welcome takes you beyond the mere practice of hiring a diversity of staff to make inclusion part of the equation, too. The author argues that a strong practice of inclusion is necessary to keep employee retention up, make diversity efforts stick, and cultivate an organization that outperforms its peers.
