The unrest and anger following the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota and shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin has spilled over into workplaces across the nation, including here in California. Increased awareness of societal racial injustices has led to increased numbers of employees voicing concerns about workplace inequities. Now, more than ever, it is crucial to take these concerns seriously and investigate them properly. This program will address the challenges of investigating concerns about racial discrimination and racial harassment in today’s workplace. We will cover some of the trickiest issues when it comes to these investigations including:
– building trust with witnesses on both sides,
– investigating micro-aggressions, and
– assessing overall organizational culture regarding race-related issues.
