Birds of All Feathers
Doing Diversity and Inclusion Right
Birds of All Feathers is a timely call to action for employers, HR professionals, managers, and employees to address diversity and inclusion—because it’s not just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do.

You’ll learn how to craft a D&I policy that’s effective, and how to start the work of dismantling systemic racism and inequity by creating safe work spaces where people can bring their whole selves, find advancement, and succeed.
Whether you are in the arts, healthcare, non-profit, or for-profit sectors, there is a business case for making your organization a space of true inclusion. In Birds of All Feathers, Bach presents a feisty and honest case for the business advantage of diversity and inclusion in the workplace with practical steps to get there.
No more excuses. No more delays. Change—and growth—starts right here.
