(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Coaching and developing employees is not a one size fits all activity. Race, gender, class, education, culture and religion can all affect the needs of employees. Coaches and line managers must address this. Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging in Coaching is a practical guide for coaches and line managers which explains how to assess different employee needs, identify what experiences can impact these needs and shows how to develop a truly inclusive approach to coaching and employee development. It also covers how to recognize the difference between employees surviving and thriving as well as how to assess who is displaying resilience and who is simply ignoring an issue and hoping it will go away. Packed full of practical tips, tools, case studies, interviews, examples and activities to work through in practice, this book allows coaches and line managers to create a culture of belonging and ensure that all employees flourish. There is also specific guidance on how to deal with employee trauma such as prejudice, racism, bullying, burn out, imposter syndrome and grief as well as how to cultivate a system of acceptance and encourage all employees to bring their authentic selves to work. Supported by expert advice, personal experience and industry research, this book is crucial reading for all coaches and managers responsible for talent development"--,Provided by publisher.
