Ep 101 What is Your X? Why the Workplace is the Perfect Place to Discuss the Undiscussables, Race + Racism Continued

The Forum on Workplace Inclusion Podcast

In this special bonus episode of The Forum Podcast, Margaret Greenberg and Gina Greenlee from The Business of Race, LLC answer questions from listeners that attended our June 16, 2022 Webinar What is Your X_ Why the Workplace is the Perfect Place to Discuss the Undiscussables, Race + Racism.

Margaret and Gina answer the following questions:

Question 1: Race means different things to different people. What does "Race" mean to the two of you?

Question 2: Are you aware of the IDI (Intercultural Developmental Inventory) tool and if so, would you recommend using this tool with the OSA?

Question 3: [And speaking of metrics} What are some likely metrics for equity?

Question 4: Could you speak to responding to an organization hesitant to explore this topic? [of workplace racial equity]

Question 5: Can you discuss the increased focus on performance and outcome? How do you manage expectations for those who feel DEI is fixable rather than an ongoing part of an organization’s culture?

Question 6: How does this book address the “othering of racially diverse talent” so that white talent doesn’t feel that it is an attack on whiteness and a burden on them to learn/unlearn?
