"""If you are from the Global South, like me, this is a book to read. It is clear that EDI is culturally constructed and in need of an open and down-top organizational way when it is discussed out of Eurocentric contexts. Weber and Gaggiotti navigate, using their sincere and open reflections, emotions and even contradictory organizational experiences, the EDI complexities embedded in societal structures, uncovering hidden and unspoken biases."" Isis Arlene Díaz-Carrión, Facultad de Turismo y Mercadotecnia, Universidad Autónoma de Baja California “'Diversity agenda' is a complex landscape within corporate environments when hiring candidates, as unconscious bias still remains in our way of understanding inclusion. This insightful book shows a deeper perspective of the issues that this agenda brings and reflects on the intersectionality dimension of identity and empathy in the workplace, giving a clear idea of the conceptual tools to 'dismantling systemic barriers to promoting a more just and inclusive workforce'. A must-read for anyone committed to fostering positive change and breaking down the barriers that impede the making of a truly equitable workplace."" Mora Castro, School of Health Sciences at the Arturo Jauretche National University (UNAJ) – National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET), Argentina ""The authors analyze diversity in financial services and executive search through their personal experiences and opinions, highlighting the neglect of ""invisible"" diversity in recruitment processes. This work challenges readers to explore the evolving perspectives and interpretations of diversity in society through an analysis of how memory and historical events influence our understanding of equality and diversity, as well as approaches to creating more equitable organizations."" Prof. Dr. Burcu Guneri Cangarli, Izmir University of Economics"
