Strategies for Dealing with Racism in the Workplace

Today's blog post on humanistic leadership is actually just a link to an article I think you all should read. 

It's titled: Confronting the Uncomfortable Reality of Workplace Discrimination by Derek R. Avery and Enrica N. Ruggs at MIT Sloan.

I love this - because it address - unintentional discrimination which we need to deal with. Unintentional discrimination is not intentional - but it still causes harm.  We need to deal with that effectively.

The other thing it discusses is to think long term about racism in the workplace. Some of what is happening - is structural. And it goes back a LONG LONG time. Pretending that the laws and organizational structures that were developed - weren't developed to control and exclude - is silly. We have to dismantle these things that cause harm.

One of the things I teach is how to use behavioral science to stop bullying and harassment in the workplace. This can at least help you fix the intentional racism that crops up from time to time.   I also have programs on how to control your unconcious biases as well. So check out the courses - and let me help you change the culture of your organization. https://humanistlearning.com/programsoffered/
