Managing Workplace Diversity and Inclusion

'As a scholar and teacher in D&I for nearly 20 years, this book covers all the key concepts, theories, and issues I try to cover in my courses. It is the book I wish I had time to write! I will definitely be adopting this text for my next course.' – Donna Chrobot-Mason, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Psychology, University of Cincinnati

'Hays-Thomas's Managing Workplace Diversity and Inclusion is a comprehensive and essential resource for researchers and practitioners alike. To have relevant professional and legal concepts packaged with social/organizational psychology research on diversity, inclusion, and their promotion in organizations is a true treasure. This text is a must for business and psychology students, as well as those professionals and executives working toward building inclusive environments in both the public and private sector.' – Deborah E. Rupp, Professor and William C. Byham Chair in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, Purdue University

'Dr. Hays-Thomas has authored a comprehensive and authoritative text on workplace diversity that honors the trailblazers who developed the early scholarship and practice of diversity management, and moves the intellectual and practical inquiry forward. She cogently tackles the basic concepts, processes, theories and legal frameworks that lay the groundwork for critical thinking about the major dimensions of diversity. Finally, Hays-Thomas provides readers with a thorough analysis of the practices, strategies and programs that have been tried and tested for developing skills and competencies, managerial practices, and for building organizational cultures in order to realize the full value of diversity and inclusiveness.' – Margaret S. Stockdale, Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis

'Many like the idea of diversity in the abstract but have difficulty behaving in ways to support it. Hays-Thomas’ diversity science text, Managing Workplace Diversity and Inclusion, supports emerging scientists-practitioners in bridging the gap between the idea of diversity and inclusive practice.' – Kecia M. Thomas, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology and Sr. Associate Dean, Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, University of Georgia
