Winning Conversations: How to Communicate Successfully and Courageously about Race in the Workplace
60 Minutes
Are you someone who steers clear conversations about race? Perhaps you've had fears of things going wrong or doubts about your ability to handle such discussions. You're not alone - in fact, many people avoid talking about race in the US and across the globe. A 2020 survey by the Society for Human Resource Management revealed that 37% of both white and Black workers felt uneasy when discussing racial issues at work. Additionally, 45% of Black workers and 30% of white workers reported that their workplaces discourage conversations about racism and social justice. It's time to change that!
