Tackle systemic racism in the workplace with practical strategies
In The Anti-Racist Organization: Dismantling Systemic Racism in the Workplace, HR strategist Shereen Daniels delivers an incisive and honest discussion of how business leaders can change workplace practices to create a more anti-racist and equitable environment. The author draws on her personal and client-facing experience, historical fact, legal proceedings, HR insights, and quantitative analysis to equip readers with the knowledge and tools they need to transform their companies.
Daniels also looks at:
* The role of executive leaders and how to push past discomfort to credibly and authentically lead change
* Strategies for recognising the problem of systemic racism and implementing impactful solutions
* Why it's important to empower colleagues to be pioneers of change and how to do that
* Explanations of why diversity and inclusion initiatives haven't yet solved the problem
* Ways language can either be a weapon to perpetuate systemic racism or a tool to dismantle
