Diversity and inclusion are essential aspects of any workplace, but unfortunately, we are still far from achieving true equality. Accusations of racism in high political office, award-winning actors admitting that the sets they work on are not inclusive, and everyday occurrences of sexism, ageism, racism, and more serve as a stark reminder of the work that still needs to be done.
Demanding More: THE diversity and inclusion book you need to read is a powerful and comprehensive guide that goes beyond HR speak. Written by Sheree Atcheson, Global Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Valtech and a former Monzo employee, this book offers a clear understanding of what diversity and inclusion mean in the everyday experiences of millions of people, both at work and in life.
Atcheson draws on her personal experience as a young woman of color in an overwhelmingly white male tech environment to shed light on the issues she discusses. She highlights the lack of awareness around privilege, unchecked and unconscious biases, and the impact of intersectionality on feelings of discrimination and disadvantage. Through her writing, Atcheson argues that the best strategy for us all to adopt is allyship, where we take ownership of the issues and stand up to bias or discrimination.
In Demanding More, Atcheson provides readers with the tools and strategies needed to enact change in their daily lives. She encourages us to challenge our own biases and assumptions, to listen to and learn from people with different perspectives, and to actively work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society. She also emphasizes the importance of accountability in delivering change, and provides practical steps for individuals and organizations to take to make a difference.
This book is a must-read for anyone who is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in their workplace, community, and beyond. It offers a wealth of insights and practical advice that can help us break down barriers and build a more inclusive world. By demanding more, we can create a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and succeed, regardless of their background or identity.
