HRchat Podcast What's Actually Changed in Orgs Since George Floyd's Murder? w/ Erika Broadwater, NAAAHR
According to an HR Policy Association survey in the Spring of 2021, covering nearly 400 HR leaders representing 11 million employees found that 85% said their organizations expanded inclusion activities and increased C-suite involvement in DE&I since George Floyd’s murder. Seventy percent have started or expanded unconscious bias training, while more than half moved to disaggregate workforce data to provide a better picture of employee demographics. The survey also found DE&I was the main concern for HR leaders, ranking ahead of strategizing for a post-COVID culture.
In this HRchat, we take a pulse of the state of HR and leadership and look at what has actually changed within organizations since the murder of George Floyd.
