Since the 1960s, workplaces have initiated anti-racism and anti-oppression workshops and trainings, but we're curious...are they working? Some organizations undertake DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) as one-off events, some are checklist items during workplace orientation, and others do it to avoid legal action.
But after 50 years of evolved DEI from race, to gender, physical and mental ability, and sexual orientation, the research is showing that workplaces are not more diverse. We dive into the reasons why, but also the ways in which sustainable change is possible.
We are joined in the conversation by Danait Mehreteab (she/her), an equity, diversity and anti-Black racism consultant and facilitator.
