Diversifying Diversity challenges narrow definitions of workplace diversity and invites readers to broaden their understanding beyond common categories like gender, ethnicity, age, and sexual orientation. Dr. Poornima Luthra introduces the concept of a “diversity thumbprint,” encompassing factors such as neurodiversity, physical abilities, socio-economic background, educational experiences, personality, belief systems, parenthood choices, and more.

This book is a wake-up call for individuals and organizations to reflect on their true level of inclusivity. It equips readers with essential tools to recognize and address bias, initiate inclusive conversations, and practice active allyship—regardless of their role within an organization.

Luthra complements her conceptual framework with real-world case studies from companies including Maersk Tankers, Carlsberg Group, IKEA Retail, Telia Company, Be My Eyes, Project Access International, Stack Recruitment, and Kromann Reumert. These examples offer tangible illustrations of inclusion in action and serve as blueprints for organizations seeking to foster genuine belonging.

Whether you’re an employee, manager, or executive, Diversifying Diversity empowers you to take off your metaphorical shoes, step into others’ perspectives, and contribute meaningfully to a more equitable workplace culture.
