Fixing Fairness: 4 Tenets to Transform Diversity Backlash into Progress for All

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.

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.
