Racial Justice at Work

Practical Solutions for Systemic Change

Narrado por: Robin Miles

Creating justice-centered organizations is the next frontier in DEI. This book shows how to go beyond compliance to address harm, share power, and create equity.

Traditional DEI work has not succeeded at dismantling systems that perpetuate harm and exclude BIPOC groups. Proponents of DEI have put too much focus on HR solutions, such as increasing representation, and not enough emphasis on changing the deeper organizational systems that perpetuate inequities—in other words, on justice. DEIJ work diverges from traditional metrics-driven DEI work and requires a new approach to effectively dismantle power structures.

This thought-provoking, solutions-oriented book offers strategic advice on how to adopt a justice mindset, anticipate and address resistance, shift power dynamics, and create a psychologically safe organizational culture. Individual chapters provide pragmatic how-to guides to implementing justice-centered practices in recruitment and hiring, data collection and analysis, learning and development, marketing and advertising, procurement, philanthropy, and more.

DEIJ pioneer Mary-Frances Winters and her coauthors address some of the most significant aspects of adding a justice focus to diversity work, showing how to create a workplace culture where equity is not a checklist of performative actions but a lived reality.

Should be required reading for organization leadership.

This should be a textbook for organization leaders across business types. This book not only diagrams the issues of systemic racism in the workplace, it presents concrete solutions. It’s unfortunate these ideas are considered radical, instead of imperative.

You've been needing this!

Required reading for all social changes leaders, internal change agents, consultants, funders, and board members. This contextualized guide on the state of racial justice in the workplace and practical solutions for how to begin to improve and advance fills in so many gaps on what, why, and how to create real workplace transformation. Kudos to Dr. Winters and her team!!
