This book provides a framework for organizations to step back and assess diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within their organization and develop an action plan to move forward in a strategic manner to achieve sustainable change. It focuses on the impact of diverse cultures on the work environment and organizational practices that enhance the full utilization of a diverse workforce. Users of this workbook will learn about beliefs and attitudes of their employees and ways to strengthen employee engagement.

This workbook will provide your DEI team a tool to develop a thorough diversity and inclusion action plan that begins with an organization-wide assessment, followed by recommendations based on the assessment findings. It will include diversity and inclusion goals, action steps to achieve those goals, and a format to assure accountability and measure outcomes.

The goal of a diversity action plan is to create an ongoing, sustainable program for developing and managing a diverse workforce that is inclusive and reflects the communities your organization serves.
