Chapter Chapter 9 in Leading With Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, 2022, pp 137-147 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The year 2020, presented us with a pandemic and an increase of awareness in Black Lives Matter. The later event brought again the topic of diversity and inclusion. This article will propose that we need to view diversity and inclusion in the workplace, as not a one size fit all, but a framework that will encompass all departments and all levels of an organization. Focusing on the top-level, board of directors and top management, first organizations must have diversity and inclusion at these levels for it to be seen at lower level. We will propose that to change into a workplace of diversity and inclusion, the change needs to be top- down, instead of bottom-up.
