Recommendation

Racial justice may seem dicey to promote in professional circles, much like politics and religion. However, Paula Glover and Katie Mehnert argue workplaces are among the best places to have sensitive discussions, as they offer more diversity than most people are exposed to in their daily lives. Executives and upper managers should prepare for a quick yet constructive lesson from prominent leaders in the energy industry.

Take-Aways

  • Workplaces should embrace their unique power to facilitate organic discussions on race.
  • Confront racial generalizations by reminding people that everyone is different.
  • Measure progress through a mix of surveys and conversations with your employees.
