The nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd have led many business leaders to reconsider their organizations' approach to diversity and inclusion. Too often, D&I programs have been primarily educational seminars with little practical effect on even well-intentioned leaders' business practices. Might this lack of impact be due to those programs' lack of personal, empathetic conversations between those of differing backgrounds? In this one-hour discussion, three HR leaders will share their experiences as people of color, both in society at large and in the workplace, with a white HR professional seeking to understand. They will share insight from their unique perspectives into: * Disparate impact, * Systemic racism, * The prospect of "color-blind workplaces," * The challenges of creating a meritocratic environment, * Corporate pronouncements of solidarity with social movements and their employees of color, and * Where business leaders should focus their energy and attention to maximize continued progress.
