Organizations of all sizes are increasingly presented with a challenge and opportunity – how to discard the symbols inherited from their past that can be deemed offensive or culturally insensitive while still upholding an understanding of their history. In recent years, we have seen this discussion bubble up in organizations that hold otherwise uncontested loyalty among employees and customers, culminating in cases where companies must decide whether mollifying those who express offense is worth discarding long-held traditions. This episode will discuss why some symbolism has become controversial and how companies should navigate removing contentious symbols without losing sight of their past contributions.
