“Apples & Oranges is book i co-authored with Dr.Varsha Sreevatsa, a knowledgeable I/O psychologist, that features a slightly different but enhanced take on Diversity & Inclusion that is sustainable and likely to see easier business adoption.
One of the reasons I coauthored this book was to help corporates, organizations and individuals to take up the journey towards Diversity & Inclusion in a guided manner. In the area of assessments, there has been a great amount of discussion around the area of bias and adverse impact. From the perspective of Total Inclusion, it is important for assessment providers to ensure that the tools they develop and deploy are statistically proven to be unbiased and free of any adverse impact.
The other impact in line with what we discuss in the book is for assessment providers to develop tools that help individuals and organizations gauge their current standing on inclusion and its factors as well as diversity and its components”.
