Companies spend billions of dollars annually on diversity efforts, with remarkably few results. Too often diversity efforts rest on the assumption that all that's needed is an earnest conversation about privilege. That's not enough. To truly make progress with diversity, equity and inclusion, we must focus less on documenting the problem and more on just stopping the transmission of it.In Bias Interrupted, Joan C. Williams shows how it's done, and reassuringly, how easy it is to get started. Leaders just need to use standard business systems and standard business tools—data and metrics—to interrupt the bias that is constantly transmitted through formal systems like performance appraisals and the informal systems that control access to opportunities, like mentoring programs. The book presents fresh evidence based on Williams's research and work with companies, in that interrupting bias helps every group—including white men.Comprehensive, though compact and straightforward, Bias Interrupted delivers real, practical value in as efficient and accessible manner as possible to an audience that has never needed it more.

"An essential resource for any working woman, What Works for Women at Work is a comprehensive and insightful guide for mastering office politics as a woman. Authored by Joan C. Williams, one of the nation's most-cited experts on women and work, and her daughter, writer Rachel Dempsey, this unique book offers a multi-generational perspective into the realities of today's workplace. Often women receive messages that they have only themselves to blame for failing to get ahead--Negotiate more! Stop being such a wimp! Stop being such a witch! What Works for Women at Work tells women it's not their fault. The simple fact is that office politics often benefits men over women. Based on interviews with 127 successful working women, over half of them women of color, What Works for Women at Work presents a toolkit for getting ahead in today's workplace. Distilling over 35 years of research, Williams and Dempsey offer four crisp patterns that affect working women: Prove-It-Again!, the Tightrope, the Maternal Wall, and the Tug of War. Each represents different challenges and requires different strategies--which is why women need to be savvier than men to survive and thrive in high-powered careers. Williams and Dempsey's analysis of working women is nuanced and in-depth, going far beyond the traditional cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approaches of most career guides for women. Throughout the book, they weave real-life anecdotes from the women they interviewed, along with quick kernels of advice like a "New Girl Action Plan," ways to "Take Care of Yourself", and even "Comeback Lines" for dealing with sexual harassment and other difficult situations. Up-beat, pragmatic, and chock full of advice, What Works for Women at Work is an indispensable guide for working women"--Publisher information
Around the world, populist movements are gaining traction among the white
working class. Meanwhile, the professional elite--journalists, managers, and
establishment politicians--is on the outside looking in, and left to argue
over the reasons why. In White Working Class, Joan C. Williams, described as
something approaching rock star status in her field by the New York Times,
explains why so much of the elite's analysis of the white working class is
misguided, rooted in assumptions by what she has controversially coined class
cluelessness. Williams explains how most analysts, and the corresponding media
coverage, have conflated working class with poor. All too often, white working
class motivations have been dismissed as simply racism or xenophobia. Williams
explains how the term working class has been misapplied--it is, in fact, the
elusive, purportedly disappearing middle class. This demographic often resents
both the poor and the professionals. They don't, however, tend to resent the
truly rich, nor are they particularly bothered by income inequality. Their
dream is not to join the upper middle class, with its different culture, but
to stay true to their own values in their own communities--just with more
money. White Working Class is a blunt, bracing narrative that sketches a
nuanced portrait of millions of people throughout the world who have proven to
be a potent political force. For anyone stunned by the rise in populist,
nationalist movements, wondering why so many would seemingly vote against
their own economic interests or simply feeling like a stranger in their own
country, White Working Class will be a convincing primer on how to connect
with a crucial set of workers--and voters.--
An enlightening and vivid portrait of the stunning successes of populist
movements, and what people need to know about how this transformative shift in
politics affects the lives of everyone.
