Next Meeting: Anti-racist employment: Why it is necessary
Wednesday 12th May 2025
6.00 pm to 7.15 pm via Zoom
Event Details
Why Focus on Anti-Racist Employment?
Racism in employment isn't always loud. It often hides in hiring decisions, workplace culture, promotion patterns, pay gaps, and how staff are treated when they raise concerns. This session will spotlight the areas where racism persists and explore what anti-racist employment really looks like in practice.
Areas of Focus:
1. Recruitment and Hiring
- Biased job descriptions and adverts
- Informal networks that exclude diverse candidates
- Discrimination in shortlisting and interviews
2. Pay and Progression
- Ethnicity pay gaps
- Unequal access to development opportunities
- Overlooked for promotions
3. Workplace Culture
- Microaggressions and stereotyping
- Lack of representation in leadership
- Tokenism and emotional labour
4. Disciplinary and Grievance Processes
- Disproportionate disciplinary actions
- Being labelled as aggressive for raising issues
- Lack of safe reporting channels
5. Support and Allyship
- Inadequate wellbeing support for racially minoritised staff
- Performative allyship vs. meaningful action
- Lack of sponsorship and mentoring
What to Expect
- A brave, inclusive space grounded in respect and empathy
- Real stories and real data
- Tools to reflect, challenge and change
- Practical actions for individuals and organisations
