Description
What would workplaces look like if no one had to hide? From subtle code-switching to outright concealment, millions of employees hide aspects of their identities to fit in at work. In Unlocking Authenticity you’ll explore the untold stories of those who mask, the systemic forces that compel it, and the ways leaders and HR professionals can dismantle these barriers. Combining compelling narratives, research insights, and practical tools, this book offers a clear roadmap to foster authenticity and psychological safety in the workplace. With timely strategies for navigating the backlash against DEI, Unlocking Authenticity equips readers to drive meaningful change and create environments where employees are empowered to show up as their true selves—and thrive.
