What's Your Zip Code Story?

Understanding and Overcoming Class Bias in the Workplace

By: CJ Gross

Narrated by: Brandon Colbert

Shedding light on class division, this audiobook offers solutions to class bias in the workplace by analyzing real experiences, social norms, education, wealth, and more.

The renewed focus on class, race, and equality in the workplace and beyond is making an indelible mark on society. This clarion call for change is sweeping inequality from every corner of the nation, including law enforcement, schools, and businesses. And within the past five years, diversity and inclusion, as well as unconscious bias, have been the main drivers of organizational training, politics, and community engagement.

What’s Your Zip Code Story? helps clarify the intersection of class bias and racial disparity in the workplace and arms organizations with the knowledge to not only have productive discussions, but also adopt effective solutions. Gross instructs class-migrants—whether college students, recent graduates, or overlooked employees—on how to climb the career lattice and transform themselves from undervalued employees to respected leaders. The book tackles challenges that class-migrants encounter when navigating the workplace and provides operative practices that can be utilized to hone new professional skills and drive positive change in workplace culture. It is a powerful tool that will inspire marginalized employees who are hungry for personal and professional growth, as well as give insight to business leaders seeking a new way to engage their teams. Through the lived experiences of the author and research-based strategies, listeners will find insights on how to increase workplace engagement and business performance.

Eye Opener for Businesses and Individuals Alike

This book is a must read, not only for HR professionals but for all. After reading this book, I identify myself as a class migrant and this book helped me understand feelings and thoughts I've had as I have moved through my own professional career and had experiences that were bothersome. It also opened my eyes more to considering unconscious biases I may hold and how they impact how I see others. This book will help you become a bit more well-rounded individual and professional by bringing to light an issue that can often be subtle but so incredibly influential to the way we all move throughout the world and see our fellow humans. There is a lot of healing needed on the topic of cultural and racial bias and I look forward to seeing more from C.J. Gross on this topic

A great listen! And well written

So insightful and interesting point of views. Got this to listen to while working but was actually engaged in the topics.
