Beyond Diversity Podcast

This episode discusses why this stereotype is wrong and how we can come together as colleagues and allies at our workplace to change ingrained attitudes about minorities that harbor resentment or are false. We will review research on how these stereotypes drive biased understandings of what makes a successful employee, break down why they are so deeply rooted in our society, and identify ways employers can counteract this misassumption through their HR processes, policies, and procedures; ultimately leading us all closer towards inclusion in a more equitable professional space where everyone deserves equal access to opportunity regardless of race or gender.
