Overview
The demand for inclusive workplaces is stronger than ever, with most employees seeking a sense of belonging and fairness at work. Yet traditional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies have faced backlash and stagnation, leaving organizations at a crossroads.
Where common DEI initiatives have failed, this book instead offers a results-based, systems-focused, all-inclusive, and universally beneficial framework to help bring about real social change in the workplace. This can be achieved through the FAIR framework:
- Fairness—Promote equitable treatment by addressing systemic barriers and ensuring transparent, just practices for all.
- Access—Expand opportunities by removing obstacles and creating pathways for underserved and underrepresented groups.
- Inclusion—Foster a sense of belonging where diverse voices are valued, heard, and integrated into decision-making.
- Representation—Reflect the diversity of society at all levels, ensuring visibility and participation across demographics.
This book isn’t about the next acronym or rebranding; it’s a call to action for a more effective and resilient approach to social progress. The DEI industrial complex failed to make real change through unchecked growth and performative practices, and far-right antagonists only offer regressive “solutions.” With clarity, urgency, and practicality, Fixing Fairness offers a third option and charts a path forward for those committed to creating better outcomes for all.
