In The Business of Race, authors Gina Greenlee and Margaret Greenberg argue that the workplace is the ideal place to talk about race, racism, and anti-racism. This week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, they join Ross G and Nahdia to explain why. We discuss:
- opportunities for teachable moments
- the moral case vs business case for racial equity
- the reasons to separate conversations about racial diversity from other diversity initiatives.
