State-Level Culture and Workplace Diversity Policies: Evidence from US Firms
This paper examines the effect of state-level culture in the US on the adoption of firms’ workplace diversity policies. Using firm-level panel data (1592 firm-year observations) over the period 2011–2014, we document that firms in highly individualistic states are less likely to adopt workplace diversity policies, which in turn negatively affects firm performance. Our results are robust to alternative variables and econometric specifications. Our findings provide insights into the contemporary debate on the economic aspects of workplace diversity policies for firms operating in different cultural backgrounds.

Unwavering : rejecting bias, igniting change, celebrating inclusion
\"Accenture is now a technology giant, over 700,000 people strong with Fortune 100 status, and diversity has been a key driver of its growth. Unwavering focuses on the bravery, strength, and vision of Nellie Borrero, the leader who established diversity, equity, and inclusion, as must-do strategies for global success. Borrero starts with helping non-diverse people understand what it really feels like to be disadvantaged. She exposes the daily indignities she endured navigating a corporate culture when biases went unchecked. She shines a light on \"what success looks like\" through unforgettable vignettes. She documents her wins and her setbacks as she transforms the company from its Caucasian- and male-dominated workforce to the #1 ranked employer for inclusion, diversity, and equity, according to Fair360. For people in positions of power, Unwavering is a manifesto for understanding and action. The book shows how to create game-changing relationships that make diversity and inclusion an integral part of a company's competitive advantage. It recasts leaders from \"awkward allies\" to effective advocates, mentors, coaches, and sponsors. It drives lasting change through its transparency, frameworks, and research. (Want to know what you can do on Monday morning to create a more inclusive and high-preforming team? Unwavering tells you). For people in diverse communities, Unwavering is a mind shift to help them think bigger, know your full value, and show up with it everywhere, every day. Thanks to Borrero's truly human and relatable lessons, readers will become more assertive, competitive, and confident. Unwavering is the story of a first-generation Latina who joins a fast-growing services firm, faces down bigotry and bias, transforms the company into a diversity champion, gives birth to award-winning inclusion and diversity programs, and becomes an award-winning executive. It is also the story of a Fortune 100 company that moved from indifference about diversity to setting new standards for workforces globally. Most of all, Nellie Borrero normalizes conversations about bias, bigotry, and equality--whether they take place in the hallway or the boardroom.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace
Your DEIJ efforts are stagnating because you continue to center whiteness. Creating a truly anti-racist organization requires learning how to identify and rectify the systemic, and often unconscious, centering of white culture and values in the workplace. Corporate America continues to struggle with racial equity in a post-George Floyd world. As the United States becomes more diverse and the public consciousness continues to shift, successful racial equity efforts in the workplace are needed now more than ever. Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace exposes the ways that white culture and expectations are centered in the modern American workplace and the fears within corporate spaces about talking candidly, openly, and honestly about whiteness, white supremacy, and anti-Blackness. Readers will discover:
* A direct and straightforward analysis about what white-centering is
* An evaluation of the different ways that whiteness is centered in the workplace, such as bereavement and holiday policies and dress codes
* A guide on how to recognize and decenter whiteness within oneself and at work
* Solutions for people to contribute individually and systemically to anti-oppression
Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace provides a crucial guidebook with practical solutions for leaders, DEIJ practitioners, and anyone hoping to truly create an anti-racist workplace.

A Vision from the Margin aims to bring together the lived experiences from Black and people of colour who have felt marginalized both during training and as they enter their clinical and/or academic practice.

This will be transformative for new and existing practitioners and those who research or work in related fields.
