DEI Expert Di Ciruolo Urges Major Corporations To "Ally Up" And Build More Inclusive, Innovative And Productive Teams with the release of her new book
BOSTON, Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- DEI expert and new author Di Ciruolo partners with Morgan James' Publishing to release Ally Up: The Definitive Guide to Inclusive, Innovative, and Productive Teams. Ally Up examines diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace and its role in creating and maintaining inclusive, productive teams. Ciruolo's new book is a top resource in the DEI industry for employers, employees, talent and recruitment endeavors and can be used as the definitive guide to understanding, supporting, and encouraging inclusive practices in the workplace.
Companies are encouraging inclusive workplaces by creating new policies and changing hiring practices however, emphasis on social justice, inclusion, and human rights is missing. This book teaches allyship and promotes inclusion at every step of the employee life cycle, including how to lead better with interviews from hundreds of people working in tech, STEM, biotech, finance, and academia with real stories from their experiences in the workplace with everything from motherhood and #metoo to racism and sexual harassment.
Ciruolo has a heartfelt commitment towards making the world better for people like herself. She is a white-Hispanic, queer mother of two that got into the field of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion because she was angry. She has first hand experience with discrimination and took it upon herself to educate her children on diversity at a young age. Ciruolo is also an advocate for working women and mothers and believes that more needs to be done to advocate for women in day-to-day and overall company operations.
Ciruolo understands DEI requires action from both leaders and employees and addresses the ways and hindrances to achieving that goal. Leaders are seeing for the first time that in order to lead well they MUST have a position on issues that are informed by a field they have no knowledge of. With many social issues and injustices coming to the forefront, the way that we measure success around leadership is changing and companies are being urged to do better in the DEI space.
Ciruolo says, "My book speaks not only to those who have decided to take the journey of self education required by allyship, but also those who are on the fence and need to have the dots connected." Ally Up is a baseline of knowledge people need before attempting to have conversations around DEI in the workplace.
