How to talk about race at work: CIPD

With racial disparities in society and the workplace recently highlighted by the BLM movement, new topics and terms that evoke guilt, confusion, sadness and multiple questions have become a part of our every-day. Terminology such as ‘anti-Black racism’, ‘White fragility’ and ‘allyship’ have many wondering ‘How has this been going on for so long without us being aware?’ Author of the CIPD guide on How to Talk About Race at Work, Aggie Mutuma’s aim is to help people-professionals develop strategies for addressing racism in the workplace through constructive conversations. With a model that covers before, during and after a conversation about race in the workplace, Aggie provides guidance for creating a safe space that doesn’t minimise others experiences, promotes a growth mindset with an aim to understand, and gives pointers on how to listen without judgement, embracing discussions about race as a tool to help us work towards a fair and equal society together.
