Tiny Rice GrainsHow Small and Impactful Actions Build Inclusive WorkplacesAuthor Lyn R. LeeTiny Rice Grains explores the human side of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).Given the business case that diverse and inclusive organizations thrive and drive better performance, the question begs to be asked: why are so many organizations still struggling to implement and embed DEI in the workplace?The book explores this question and tackles how DEI strategies are often approached. as standalone initiatives rather than being woven into the fabric of the organization. Too many people are still afraid to have brave conversations and confront uncomfortable truths in the realm of DEI.What strikes me as I work in this area is the impact that small actions can have. Like dropping a single rice grain into water creates ripples, small acts of kindness and inclusion can have ripple effects, inspiring others to do the same and creating a cascading impact for those around us.Each of our small actions adds up to a greater whole. DEI doesn’t need one passionate person leading the charge. It needs all of us to do our part, in whatever small ways we can, to make our workplaces more inclusive.I have found the three principles of courage, curiosity, and care to be useful when approaching DEI, and I share my learnings in this area throughout my book. I also bring in other people’s stories and perspectives, widening the conversation and giving readers a chance to learn from a collective wisdom far greater than mine alone.To connect with Lyn ....https://www.instagram.com/tinyricegrains/https://www.linkedin.com/in/lyn-lee-dei/https://www.penguin.sg/book/tiny-rice-grains
