Workers From Underrepresented Backgrounds - Workplace Inclusion
Some projects move slowly… not because they matter less, but because they matter so much that you want to do them properly.
Lately, my available time for my book research has become much more limited. Between work, studies, and life, progress sometimes feels like a drop in the ocean.
But this week, I finally completed the introduction and Chapter 1.
And honestly? It feels like an important milestone.
This book was never meant to be “just” a book about HR.
It is becoming a reflection about people, leadership, work, inclusion, belonging, discrimination, ethics, and the many ways organizations shape human lives, positively and negatively.
It is built through real stories, real experiences, and many conversations.
I am now moving into the next phase of interviews, and I am looking to connect with people who would be open to sharing their experiences regarding the job market and workplace realities.
In particular, I would love to speak with:
• Expats and immigrants
• Women navigating workplace inequalities
• Women going through IVF or infertility journeys
• Women who experienced miscarriage
• Women navigating menopause in the workplace
• Women suffering from endometriosis or chronic invisible conditions
• Neurodivergent professionals
• Members of the LGBTQIA+ community
• People with physical disabilities or chronic illnesses
• Individuals who struggled to obtain workplace accommodations
• Professionals from underrepresented socio-economic or cultural backgrounds
• People who experienced discrimination, exclusion, or barriers in recruitment or at work
• People transitioning careers later in life
• Older professionals facing age bias
At the same time, I would also love to speak with:
• CEOs
• Founders
• CHROs
• HR leaders and managers
• DEI professionals
• Company leaders who are genuinely trying to build more inclusive workplaces
Do you have positive practices to share?
Have you implemented something differently?
How do you create belonging inside your teams?
How do you ensure people feel seen, respected, and included?
I am particularly interested in concrete actions: not only policies on paper, but things that truly make a difference in people’s lives.
My availability is reduced at the moment, but I can usually arrange discussions:
• on weekdays after 17:00
• occasionally during lunchtime
• and during weekends if needed
If you would be open to a conversation, or if you know someone whose voice deserves to be heard, I would truly appreciate the connection.
Thank you again to everyone who has already contributed to this journey.
