Bernardo Ferdman has a website devoted to his upcoming book, Diversity at Work: The Practice of Inclusion, to be published in November by Jossey Bass/Wiley in the the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) Professional Practice Series. The book's content includes:

topic experts ranging from internal and external change agents to academics present detailed solutions for the challenge of inclusion—how to fully connect with, engage, and empower people across all types of
differences.

The editors and chapter authors translate theories and research on diversity into the applied practice of inclusion. Readers will learn about the critical issues involved in framing, designing, and implementing inclusion initiatives in organizations and supporting individuals to develop competencies for inclusion.

The authors' diverse voices combine to provide an innovative and expansive model of the practice of inclusion at the individual, group, and organizational levels. Case studies and illustrations show how diversity and inclusion operate in a variety of settings, effectively highlighting the practices needed to benefit from diversity.
