Ishreen and Kami continue to explore the concept of privilege and how it impacts and influences workplace culture

Privilege is a very emotive term but if you want to move beyond invisibility and denial for yourself then you need to explore and learn about your own privilege. When you own the privilege you have you are more able to understand the privilege in your organisation and take steps to make positive change

Privilege can be a block to progress but it also has the power to transform and can lead to a privilege eruption

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You can begin to see the world in a different way. Positive power in a positive way can positively shape our purpose
• If privilege isn’t equable then fairness can’t exist
• The experiences you have are the basis for your values and are part of who you are
• Privilege is a special advantage or entitlement that a person uses to their own benefit or the detriment of another
• You have to learn to own the  privilege you have and know you are not your privilege
• History may have given you privilege it’s what you choose to do about it that matters
• We can assume that everyone entering an organisation comes in with the same level of capacity, privilege and resources
• There need to be reasonable adjustments to ensure that everyone starts at the same point
• We are in an uncertain, volatile, complex and ambiguous world so the skills required in an organisation mean a truly diverse workforce
• We need to create safe spaces for people to discuss and learn

BEST MOMENTS
‘Some of us are not ready to acknowledge and accept that we have privilege’

‘We should be talking about privilege and how has impacted and shaped our society’

‘You want to cause a privilege eruption in your organisation because it will ensure your organisation's sustainability and longevity’
