"Creating Gender-Inclusive Organizations is a must-read for corporate leaders and researchers alike. The book provides extremely valuable actionable insights and practical strategies for managers and organizations that are seeking to significantly improve the implementation of existing and new diversity initiatives to foster gender inclusion.

The pairing of organizational leaders and a leading researcher on current gender inclusion topics from climate to mentoring to STEM offers a fresh perspective on diversity and inclusion to truly move the needle on gender and inclusion."

Barbara Soria, Human Resources Executive:

"Kossek and Lee have thoughtfully – and finally – elevated the discussion on gender equality and inclusion. They lay out the evidence that objectively demonstrates how climates of inclusion drive performance, aspirations and representation of women in leadership thus ensuring that such climates are not viewed as outcomes of diverse leadership teams but precursors to it..In bringing together both academia and practitioners to begin to address the persistent barriers to translating research to outcomes, their approach models the strength and success that comes from including diverse talent and perspectives to achieve progress."

Stew Friedman, organizational psychologist at Wharton and author of Total Leadership:

"This seminal collection is a must-read for all of us who are committed to understanding what it takes to move toward the equitable social environments we have to create in our workplaces if they are to thrive in the turbulent years ahead."
