Inclusion rather than exclusion
A collaboratively written book reviews all aspects connected to inclusion in modern organisations
Inclusion. A term that outlines a significant future, for everyone, and comprises organisations at all levels. A term deriving not only from European and Italian laws put in place to prevent discrimination but also from the morals and ethics of a progressive society that, indeed, pays attention to all possible forms of human life. Inclusion and non-discrimination, then, have become imperatives that can no longer be ignored and that need to be addressed with conceptual and practical tools, in order to understand these ongoing social phenomena and be able to positively respond to them.
This is why reading L’organizzazione inclusiva (Inclusive organisations), a book written collaboratively by Stefano Basaglia, Simona Cuomo and Zenia Simonella, proves very useful. Availing themselves of fieldwork carried out by the Diversity, Inclusion & Smart Working Observatory by the SDA Bocconi School of Management, the book is aimed at all those who deal with diversity in the workplace. In particular, it helps managers to compare their own state of affairs with the various examples included in this work, and understand where their company sits within the process of adopting inclusive policies and, if necessary, whether to introduce further ones.
The book – a little over 200 pages – deals with gender and LGBTQI+ issues, but also with generational aspects, ethno-cultural diversities, disabilities, parenthood, inclusive leadership and the role of diversity managers. Some pages are also meaningfully dedicated to the balance between ethics and profit.
The outcome of theoretical analysis and practical experience, this book succeeds in providing both ideas and operational tools, keeping a sharp eye on the situation in Italy and the particular context in which organisations and companies operate.
L’organizzazione inclusiva is kind of a good guide to inclusion, to be read and reread at turning points within an organisation’s life.
