Make Work Fair

Harvard Kennedy School behavioral economist and author of What Works. joins forces with a Harvard Kennedy School researcher to offer professionals at every level, in any kind of organization, immediate, proven, and evidence-based ways to create and sustain equity in their everyday business practices. To make their organizations more equitable, many well-meaning individuals and companies invest their time and resources in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. But because inequity is built into the structures, processes, and environments of our workplaces, adding these programs has been ineffective and often becomes a burden passed off to the individuals they are meant to help. In Make Work Fair. , Iris Bohnet and Siri Chilazi offer data-backed, actionable solutions that build fairness into the very fabric of the workplace. Their methods—tested at many organizations, and grounded in data proven to work in the real world—help us make fairer—and simply better-decisions. Using their three-part framework, employees at all levels can execute and embed equity into their everyday practices. Believing in equal opportunity is essential—but it isn’t enough. Offering an evidence-based blueprint, Make Work Fair. shows you how to make it a reality, no matter your role, seniority, responsibilities, or where you are in the world.
