Award-winning social entrepreneur Dr Saundarya Rajesh, one of India’s most prominent diversity strategists who is credited with having ushered in the ‘second-career’ revolution for women professionals, believes it is. In an engaging, gentle, often light-hearted way, Dr Rajesh demystifies this vast subject of Diversity and Inclusion (D and I) for the business leader, the diversity enthusiast and even the young professional who is curious about this topic. Over a set of 99 stories, anecdotes and thought blogs, this book sequentially uncovers what inclusion and diversity means and how this can be absorbed by just about everyone. At the core of The 99 Day Diversity Challenge is the belief that the organizational practice of inclusion actually results in us becoming better human beings. For when we break down differences and create greater connectedness between people, we are building a better world. What is The 99 Day Diversity Challenge? A never-before account of the nascent experiences of implementing the culture of D and I at the Indian workplace; A precise explanation on the different strands of diversity, how to leverage each strand and the future of the D and I thought; A handy guide to set organizational inclusion goals, design a methodology to accomplish them and track your progress. This book is a collection of stories, fables, caselets and first-person accounts of the amazing experiences of individuals and organizations aspiring to create a diverse and inclusive workplace. It is aimed to be an user manual to unlock the diverse human potential at your workplace and presents the content in 10 sections namely: The basics of diversity; The dimensions of diversity; Gender and Generation: Important imperatives; Initiating the discussion around Diversity; Demystifying Diversity in your workplace; The role of leadership and strategy in Diversity and Inclusion; Actioning your D&I vision; Biases and how to find them; Creating Equity in the workplace; and Infusing the spirit of inclusion in your workplace. About the Presentation Inclusion is not exclusive to workplace situations. It takes more than a training program or workshop session to actually be inclusive. Are you inclusive of different points of view that your own family members have? Are there conflicts at home which arise because we are not inclusive? So what is Inclusion? Is it a strategy for career success? Is it the way for domestic bliss? Or is it a spiritual pursuit, that one can build over time? Well, there is more to it than meets the eye. Let’s delve a little deeper to understand. About the Speaker Dr Saundarya Rajesh is one of India’s most respected thought leaders on Diversity & Inclusion. An award-winning social entrepreneur, she is best known as the pioneer of Second Career opportunities for women in Corporate India. She has been recognised as a “#100Women Achiever” by India’s Ministry of Women and Child Development as also listed in the United Nation’s “Women Transforming India”. Recently Dr Saundarya Rajesh has been selected to receive the Prestigious “Winds of Change” Award by the Forum on Workplace Inclusion, University of St. Thomas, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. She is the first International as well as the first non-US-resident recipient of the Winds of Change award. A relentless advocate of the potential of women in the workplace, Saundarya is the advisor of choice for an impressive list of organizations and leaders on the benefits of Inclusion and Diversity. One of the earliest voices in India to speak about the need for gender balance in the workplace, her diversity immersion sessions have benefited varied audiences, ranging from industry bodies to the police force, from entrepreneurs to college goers, from organizations like Accenture, Deloitte, IBM, Mahindra Group and Tata Group to small and medium businesses. Inspirational in her approach to tackling systemic issues faced by women, Saundarya has irrevocably changed the game for the Indian Woman Professional, by introducing the concept of “Career Intentionality” and “Career Reentry” to Corporate India. An entrepreneur who has created successful, growing enterprises such as AVTAR Career Creators, FLEXI Careers India and AVTAR Human Capital Trust, Saundarya has recently entered the Artificial Intelligence domain by setting up India’s first ‘AI in Talent Acquisition’ company – Bruhat Insights Global. Bruhat provides cutting edge predictive and prescriptive analytics for selecting the right hire, through job selection patterns and career engagement insights via big data drawn from over a million successful job placements. Widely quoted on women’s careers, entrepreneurship and inclusive leadership, Saundarya is a highly sought-after speaker at conferences -- both national and international -- and a firm believer in integrating work and life. In her pursuit to develop and inspire people to grow to their full potential, she has made her debut in through the book – “The 99 Day Diversity Challenge™” published by SAGE that hit the stands on October 30, 2018. The book, in its pre-order window on Amazon, broke records by selling out within hours of its launch. The 99DDC™ has been designed to develop diversity and inclusion mind set in any organization or even individual within the proverbial 99 days. The book has already won several acclaims from industry leaders and garnered great support from HR community and D&I Heads for its innovative style of writing and highly practical focus.

Webometrics study about speaker's/resource person and organisers
by vinod mishra 10 Feb '19

10 Feb '19

Dear all Many times during international conferences people from abroad is invited as speaker/resource person etc. But do you really know their contribution and innovation in the job? Except understanding that they are having some different skin than Indians? Try to make webometrics study between these invited persons and organisers, in many cases you will find some mutual relationship between them either directly or indirectly. Most of the cases they are doing and managing the same what was passed by their ancestors like us in profession. I don't have much experience on physically visiting abroad but interacting a lot with many professionals abroad online and sharing our knowledge. I feel we have the same potentials as they have but it's a matter of proper utilisations. Dear young library professionals please do some homework before participation in any event and evaluate what knowledge you are going to get at the end of the event else you are just going to become part of crowd. Please note the certificates which you get their by spending huge amount may be available at other similar events at low cost but value will remain same. We have a conference ahead at https://elpesnitr.wordpress.com so please evaluate and ask us the benefits. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
