<big>“Birds of All Feathers: Doing Diversity and Inclusion Right” by Michael Bach is a compelling call to action for employers, HR professionals, managers, and employees to prioritise diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Michael identifies the intricacies of terms like diversity, inclusion, equity, and equality, emphasising their significance as business imperatives within our workplaces. This book is a guide for developing effective D&I policies, dismantling systemic racism, and creating inclusive workspaces conducive to success and advancement. With over two decades of experience, Michael Bach, founder of the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion (CCDI), explores this critical subject, offering actionable steps towards achieving true diversity and inclusion in organisations across various sectors. “Birds of All Feathers” serves as a comprehensive roadmap for implementing and sustaining positive change, urging us to embrace growth and transformation starting now.</big>
<big>Inclusion means everyone, always. By coming together to discuss “Birds of All Feathers: Doing Diversity and Inclusion Right,” we intentionally carve out space and time to explore practical ways to cultivate psychological safety and belongingness in the workplace.</big>
<big>During the book club meeting, we will engage in lively discussions, exchange knowledge, and draw inspiration from the book’s lessons. Together, we will discover how we can foster collaboration and create an inclusive work environment where everyone feels heard, respected, and valued.</big>
