Session Description
Do you avoid conversations about race? Ever imagine that conversation going bad? Or question whether you’re prepared for the conversation? Well, the truth is you’re not alone, as a matter of fact most people avoid talking about race in the US and all around the world. A 2020 Society for Human Resource Management survey of U.S. workers and human resource professionals found that 37% of both white and Black workers felt uncomfortable having discussions about racial issues at work. The survey also showed that 45% of Black workers and 30% of white workers said their organizations discourage discussions on racism and social justice. Those days are over!
