"All humans have bias, and as a result, so do the institutions we build. Internationally sought after diversity consultant Tiffany Jana offers concrete ways for anyone to work against institutional bias no matter what their position is in an organization. While it is easy to identify intentionally built systems of oppression like Jim Crow or the paralysis caused by the glass ceiling for women in the workplace, confronting systems that perpetuate subtle, unconscious bias is much harder. Erasing Institutional Bias will help people tackle structural bias regardless of their positional power. Eliminating systemic bias can seem an insurmountable task from the vantage point of an ordinary individual, yet Jana and Mejias empower readers to recognize that each of us has the ability to affect systemic bias through a deliberate, coordinated effort. Institutional bias afflicts all industries --including business, education, health care, government, tech, the arts, nonprofits, and finance and banking. Among the types of institutional bias addressed are hiring bias, gender bias, racial bias, occupational bias, and customer bias. Jana and Mejias focus their attention on bias in the workplace and give readers practices and activities to create organizational trust to challenge these implicit biases. Erasing Institutional Bias will help people recognize that each of us has the power to affect systemic bias. Each of us can evaluate our own current role in perpetuating systemic bias and define our new role in breaking down systemic bias"-- Provided by publisher

This practical, accessible, nonjudgmental handbook is the first to help individuals and organizations recognize and prevent microaggressions so that all employees can feel a sense of belonging in their workplace.

This book illustrates how leveraging business for good, beyond mere short-term profits, benefits consumers, employees, communities, the environment, and a company's long-term success. B Corps, a global movement of over 2,700 companies across 60 countries—including Patagonia, Ben & Jerry's, and Kickstarter—demonstrate this principle by meeting rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. The authors, Ryan Honeyman and Dr. Tiffany Jana, provide an authoritative guide to B Corp certification, drawing insights from leaders of more than 200 B Corps worldwide. The updated second edition emphasizes diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as essential values for companies aiming to profit while making a positive impact. DEI is no longer a peripheral issue; it is crucial for any business aspiring to thrive. While centered on the B Corp movement, the tools and strategies presented are applicable to companies of all sizes and sectors, enabling them to build better businesses. The authors compellingly argue that using business as a force for good can enhance talent attraction and retention, differentiate a company in a competitive market, and foster greater brand trust.
