What Equity Really Means
Breaking the Myths That Divide Us and Building a Fairer WorkplaceBy Imad Muratspahic

About this audiobook
The word "equity" has become radioactive. This book makes it clear.
Everyone is talking about equity. Almost no one agrees on what it means. Managers are frozen, afraid of saying the wrong thing. Skeptics suspect it's a slogan in search of a definition. And underneath the noise, the gaps persist.
What Equity Really Means cuts through the confusion. In direct, practical language, Imad Muratspahic dismantles the six myths that have made equity so contentious — that it's just equality by another name, that it means lowering the bar, that it's a zero-sum game, that it's only about race, that it's an HR problem, that it's anti-meritocracy — and replaces them with a clear, defensible framework any leader can act on.
Drawing on two decades inside large organizations, including as a chief diversity and inclusion officer at a Fortune 100 company, Muratspahic shows you how to audit your organization, redesign hiring and promotion, close pay gaps, build an equitable culture, and hold leaders accountable. No jargon. No partisan argument. No villains. Just the tools to make fairness a practice, not a slogan.
A fairer workplace is possible. This book shows you how to build it.
