内容简介 在线阅读本书

A groundbreaking book that offers approaches for changing the hidden biases in the workplace

This is an eye-opening examination of the causes and dynamics of bias in the workplace, offering a psychological, political, and societal analysis of the actual cost of bias to the bottom line. The authors make the hurdles that women and minorities face in the workplace as personal to the reader as they are to those who face them. Giving Notice is filled with sensible approaches for solving the current imbalance and challenges us to rethink unconscious ideas about stereotypes and commonly accepted business practices.

媒体推荐 Review
“Is the corporate playing field still an obstacle course for people who are “different?”  Freada Kapor Klein, one of America’s leading diversity advocates, thinks so. In Giving Notice, she and her coauthors tell you why  and what to do about it.  This refreshing and eye-opening new book blasts the ‘diversity industry’ and the ‘meritocracy myth-makers’ for ignoring the daily indignities and subtle biases that shape career prospects. Giving Notice tells it like it is and then tells it like it could be, offering every American a vision of workplaces that are good for people, companies, and the economy.”--Rosabeth Moss Kanter, professor, Harvard Business School and best-selling author of Confidence: How Winning Streaks and Losing Streaks Begin and End

 

“This book will clearly set the new standard for the field.  I think it will be amazing and it should be required reading for anyone in the investment business.”--David Blood, managing partner, Generation Investment Management and former CEO, Goldman Sachs Asset Management

 

“Freada Kapor Klein provides many insights into the microdynamics of diversity issues and even more insights into policy issues, organizational dynamics, and ways to change practice. She takes fundamental issues and articulates them in a very concise, engaging, and easy-to-digest way. Her examples are interesting, often humorous, and always clear.”--Stephen Small, chair, African American Studies, University of California, Berkeley
