How to ‘do’ EDI…
Unless you’re consciously including people, you’re almost certainly unconsciously excluding people. Discover 99 decisions and 5 simple habits for creating more inclusive organisations, inside and out.
Rather than top-down change initiatives involving huge teams, Catherine Garrod advocates for combining skill and will to guide people in their everyday thinking. Then developing reporting to create social accountability and track departmental progress.
When every voice is heard, every person is empowered and everybody takes action, the outcomes are extraordinary.
This is the ‘how to’ book of EDI*.
Catherine led Sky to become the most inclusive employer in the UK, with 80% of teams increasing their diversity. Now as the Founder of Compelling Culture she blends the power of listening and data to transform the organisations she works with, collaborating with leaders and their teams to define the practical actions they can implement today, tomorrow and the day after.
…one decision at a time.

Reviews
- AmazonSimple to understand, clear examples and inspirational actions. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn and do more around this important topic.
- AmazonReally instils belief that we can all make a huge difference in the quest for inclusion. Very practical read, packed full of ideas to apply in business and everyday life.
It’s honest, authentic, practical and makes a vast subject feel manageable whether you’re starting your inclusion journey or you’ve been going for a while.
I’ve just finished this absolutely brilliant book from Catherine Garrod. What an insightful read. It's packed with experience, anecdotes and practical ways to create long-term, sustainable change....I feel considerably more informed about this important topic having read this book.
The time for taking comprehensive action on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion is already upon us. If you are looking for a place to start or are looking for some advanced moves, I would highly recommend picking up the book and using it as a checklist that you can cross off over time as many decisions as you could.
It's the book I want everyone who works with teams and people to read and it’s the book that makes diversity, equity and inclusion programmes feel achievable!
- AmazonReally good book, I suspect it will become essential reading in the HR / DEI / Responsible Business space
