Hidden in Plain Sight: All Things Asian in the Workplace

In episode 2, we talk about the Lunar New Year and how some people have to navigate it in the workplace. We dive into how organizations can play a role in spearheading changes to make a more equitable, inclusive, and safe workplace. 

We discuss Michelle Yeoh and the golden globes speech and how that moment defied Asian stereotypes, and what that may mean for our community in the workplace. We play myth busting with the concept of Asians being crazy rich and dive deeply into salary negotiation and its importance.

We are three organizational psychologists and friends who are going to give you the lowdown on the good, the bad, and the ugly on the Asian experience in the workplace. Hidden in Plain Sight covers a range of workplace topics as they relate to the Asian experience. We include perspectives from Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) and  international Asians working in the U.S. Each episode breaks down a specific workplace concept - whether it's pay negotiation, professional development, or racial microaggressions, and we discuss how they relate to Asians, bringing in relevant evidence from the organizational and psychological research, and sharing tips and advice on how best to navigate these situations. Though this podcast is about the Asian experience, we invite anyone with an interest in this topic to tune in!
