Читать книгу Corporations Compassion Culture - Keesa C. Schreane - Страница 35

 Historical events have sown seeds of distrust. Business communities in partnership with employees, vendors, and consumers should educate themselves on this history as a step toward solving present-day issues in the workplace.

 For corporations and their leaders to successfully solve issues of racial inequities at work, understanding the history of people of color and work is critical. One way to do this is through a lens of how people of color were treated, valued, and devalued historically.

 Distrust by Blacks and other people of color toward old business culture is justifiable, given experiences as employees, vendors, owners, and consumers.

 Microaggressions in the workplace are real, even if they are sometimes unintentional. They are not conducive to high productivity, because they have a potential impact to hinder someone's focus, decrease their productivity, and lay seeds of a hostile work environment.

 Just because conduct is legal or acceptable doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. This is where a clear dedication to compassionate leadership was missing in the broader culture. Clarity on compassion resolves confusion about tolerating behaviors that are acceptable by society but are unethical, unequal, and hurtful physically or economically. Lead with compassion and the right thing to do is clear.
