Publisher's Synopsis
The Diversity Dilemma is a no-holds-barred account of the impact of work on diversity on society, culture, community, and humanity. Dr. Thela Thatch, a Human Resource expert with over 25 years of working with Fortune 500 companies, explores the damage caused to people and organizational culture, all in the name of diversity. Thatch writes from the center of the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) dilemma-where efforts to correct glaring issues simultaneously clash with the painful consequences of exposing them. This deep dive investigates whether the spotlight on DEI has truly moved the needle forward or further polarized and exacerbated pre-existing diversity and inclusion issues.
The Diversity Dilemma is a call to action for leaders, HR professionals, and employees committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. It serves as both a challenge and encouragement for those dedicated to driving lasting change in these areas. This book is for employee resource group leaders, human resource professionals, leaders, and followers who have given their all for the sake of equity and inclusion.
Dr. Thatch provides an honest look into why the diversity movement and actions prompted by this understating have seen little modulation in the past two decades. After being tapped on the shoulder to lead DEI initiatives, Dr. Thatch looked at the damage done to people and organizational culture along the way-all done in the name of diversity.
