Making Workplaces Fair: Upcoming Books on Inclusion and DEI

In 2025, many leaders and HR professionals faced tough challenges. They had to navigate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. Even with pushback, employees still support these initiatives. Looking ahead, four new books in 2026 will offer guidance on workplace inclusion. One book, "Fixing Fairness, " talks about the gap between support for DEI and its actual benefits. It gives leaders ways to turn backlash into progress. Another book, "How Equality Wins, " offers strategies to handle DEI challenges in a divided world. "Men At Work" focuses on how men can help achieve gender equality. Lastly, "Leadership in Neurodiversity and Neurodivergence" aims to help companies use the talents of neurodivergent employees. For those who want to read now, two books from 2025 are worth checking out. "Eldercare" discusses supporting employees who care for aging parents. "Reimagining Fairness" introduces a new way to link equity to business goals. These books show that workplace inclusion is not just about being fair. It's also about making businesses stronger and more competitive.
