DiversityTop 10Diversity is a topic that I have at heart, as some of you might have noticed. All the variations on the topic: inclusion, belonging, equality and so on, are strongly linked to an important business case. Unfortunately, finding resources that are really specific and “new” on this issue is not easy to be found. Plus, the topic, even if evolving, still is crystallised on two positions: a US-based one (often associated to positive discrimination), and one based on a multifaceted point of view that is more present in Europe and Asia.
In any case, after my listings of Essential Blog resources on Organisation Design, HR General, Leadership, and Talent Acquisition, here the list of blogs that I recommend and that focus on Diversity and Inclusion. As usual, the order of the list is completely random.
