The Israeli Palestinian war, Ukraine v. Russia, climate change, fears about the robots coming, a possible second Trump term, and the list goes on... Unless you've been hiding under a rock somewhere, you have heard about these issues. You know what's up. But you probably try to avoid discussing them in the workplace. Yet, many brands have been forced to make a comment, make a statement, let the world know where they stand on these kinds of things. Why? Well, today's consumers prefer aligning their own values and ideas with those of the companies from which they are making purchases. They prize their morality. It's also important to employees. Many employees want to work for organizations that they feel represent who they are and what they believe in. As a result, HR is often grappling with whether to make a comment - or not - when discussing certain headlines and movements. Lakisha C. Brooks, DiversityArchitect™, CDR, CAIS recently shared with HR Exchange Network readers how to figure this out. To make a statement or not? That is the question. Read her latest column to learn how to navigate the day's events to determine when to show your thoughts as an organization. https://lnkd.in/ezziVNxC #diversity #dei #deib #currentevents #news

This year’s #EquitySummit2024, A Revolution of the Soul, was more than just an event; it was a powerful call to action. It urged us to activate the individual and collective soul necessary to demand and create a nation that truly works for all. We brought together policymakers, organizers, advocates, elected officials, healers, researchers, funders, writers, artists, and musicians, creating a vibrant space for us to engage in our collective #SoulWork. We fortified our spirits with music and joy and considered a leadership stance that calls each of us to take ownership for governing for all. This year's Summit came at a critical juncture when the very foundations of our nation are trembling, with the core principles of liberty, justice, and equal protection coming under increasing pressure. As I wrote with #PolicyLink's Vice President of Research, #AbbieLangston, "The decision before us is whether we stake a claim as rightful cofounders of the nation. If the answer is yes, then our next revolution must be of the soul: developing both the collective and individual soul to love all." In the coming years, PolicyLink will focus on our Governing for All agenda, building on the insights and brilliance shared by attendees at the Summit. As we reflect on the joy, love, and connection cultivated at the 2024 Equity Summit, we are ready to take on the work ahead. Now is the time for each of us to step into our power as the true founders of the flourishing multiracial democracy that has never been, but is ours to deliver. https://lnkd.in/gV9-4eGW #WeAreTheFounders #Equity #ThrivingCommunities #MultiracialDemocracy

MY SECRET IS OUT! I’ve been keeping this a secret for a little while, but it’s time for me to come clean! Next month, I am hosting my FINAL, IN-PERSON Workshop of 2024, in NYC! THE ANTI-RACIST CONVERSATIONS CONFIDENCE CHALLENGE WORKSHOP, POLITICS EDITION, IS COMING TO NEW YORK CITY! Join me for an intimate, in-person, interactive workshop, that will transform how you talk about politics, race, racism, and other systems of oppression! If there's one thing that the presidential election season of 2024 has taught us, it's that, gaining the skills for how to effectively engage in uncomfortable, and difficult conversations about politics, race, racism, is a need...a must-have...a necessary tool for collective liberation, peace, safety, and equity for all! It's not a "nice-to-have". Without these skills, you will go around causing all kinds of unintentional harm, and doing serious damage to your relationships, as well as to people with whom you interact with on a daily basis, in real life, and online. Let’s get off of our phones, computers, and iPads, and connect IN-PERSON! Go to the link on my profile to get all of the details for my workshop in New York City next month, and register today for 50% off the registration fee, until Friday! I look forward to meeting you in person, and helping you approach these difficult conversations with more grace, grit, confidence, and compassion! Register now at the link on my profile, or in the comments below! *This video is from my last, in-person workshop in the Spring of 2024.☺️ Anti-racism is not a diet. It’s a lifestyle.™️ #antiracismschoolisinsession #blackhistory365 #diversityequityinclusion #dei #socialjustice #education #workculture #womenleaders #blacklinkedin
