The workplace has tremendous potential to manifest the social change essential for communities to rise above the racial bias and social injustice in this country and move forward. Your business relies on you to lead the charge as change agents against workplace bias.

Achieving equity at work can have an immeasurable impact on the larger equity crisis in America. But it’s often metwith deep-rooted, unconscious bias and disconnects in workplace culture. This kind of transformation takes commitment and courage and—most of all—your expertise as an HR professional.

Do we really know how our employees feel about racial issues in the workplace? We invest in unconscious bias and other  DE&I trainings, but some organizations need to step back and gain a better view of where their people are before embarking on prescriptive solutions. For example, why are Black workers feeling devalued and marginalized at concerning rates?

"Getting Talent Back to Work Executive Summary"

 

"Are you falling behind in the war for talent? Have you ignored a largely untapped labor pool of almost 75 million people, who equate to nearly one-third of adults in the United States? With unemployment below 4 percent, and the GDP losing an estimated $78 billion to $87 billion annually as this group remains unemployed, maintaining outdated employment practices that present significant barriers to the hiring of individuals with criminal records is no longer a viable strategy for organizations.

 

To be sure, reform is on the way, with the First Step Act signed into law by President Donald Trump in December of 2018. The new law aims to reduce sentences for nonviolent offenders in federal prisons and improve programs to reduce recidivism, including workforce readiness. Businesses that are struggling to fill positions in a job market where there are more jobs than applicants can take the next step and include this population in their recruiting efforts."
