Racism & Organisational Culture

Tackle common defensive responses within organisations when confronted with the issue of racism. This video critiques justifications like "we hire the best people for the job" or assumptions that the absence of black individuals in leadership roles is due to a lack of capability. Shereen categorises organisations into two types based on their approach to anti-racism: those that deny the problem and only act under duress, and those that acknowledge systemic racism as an inherent societal issue, thus accepting its presence within their own structures. The latter proactively seeks to dismantle these ingrained biases and level the playing field for affected employees. The video encourages you to reflect on your own organisation's stance and the steps it is taking towards genuine inclusivity and equality.
