Biography
Rosemary Hays-Thomas is Professor Emerita at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, where she developed the university’s first course in Workforce Diversity and was Psychology Department chair. She has published widely, consulted, and held elected office and fellow status in several psychology organizations. She also holds a lifetime certification as a Senior Professional in Human Resources and, for many years, was a licensed psychologist.
"Professor Hays-Thomas deftly blends the conceptual background that practitioners need with the practical applications to which academics often have limited exposure. Without a doubt, this is the go-to textbook for the next generation of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility professionals."
Marc Bendick, Jr., Bendick and Egan Economic Consultants, Inc.
"Hays-Thomas’s Managing Workplace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is an essential resource for understanding how DEI is conceptualized and measured by both organizations and researchers. It takes an evidence-based approach to covering topics such as privilege, inequity, identity, as well as what is currently known about stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. All of this is artfully integrated with not only legal concepts related to DEI, but also with what organizations can do to build diversity and diversity competence throughout their workforce. This is a "must read" for students, scholars, and practitioners alike!"
Deborah E. Rupp, PhD, Professor at the Department of Psychology, George Mason University, USA
