Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion: Black History, Workplace Challenges, and Change
summary
Session runs a live black history trivia with 23 live players, names specific figures (Mary Seacole, Queen Charlotte, Diane Abbott), and cites the UK Slavery Abolition Act of 1833. It documents three workplace problems—code switching, discriminatory discipline, and microaggressions—with concrete examples (colleague pressured to confess theft; accent dismissed). Recommendations are practical: educate on employee experience, challenge biases, adopt equal‑opportunity hiring, and speak up and report when incidents occur.
