Description
Inclusion on Purpose: An Intersectional Approach to Creating a Culture of Belonging at Work by Ruchika T. Malhotra. Inclusion is both a moral imperative and a sound business strategy, yet many organizations struggle to put these principles into practice. Ruchika T. Malhotra argues that inclusion requires awareness, intention, and regular practice, rather than simply expecting it to happen. By centering the experiences of women of color, who face both gender and racial bias, Malhotra reveals the intersectional nature of inclusion and shows how leaders and organizations can promote meaningful change. Malhotra debunks the idea of a "level playing field" and explains how leaders and organizations can use their privilege to address bias and create a culture of psychological safety. She argues for a "culture add" approach, rather than "culture fit," and emphasizes the importance of dismantling structural bias over simply "leaning in." With this important book, Malhotra provides a roadmap for progress toward inclusion and diversity, and highlights the need for immediate action.
