The analyzed reference: Call to Action on Anti-Racism, Equity, and Inclusion, Canadian Human Rights Commission. by Phillips
The letter explains
how the pandemic has led to many inequalities in minority communities. The
Commission has worked to examine this situation and renew its commitment
against racism. To this end, they have created these action plans, for example,
they have appointed to executive positions both Native American employees and
employees of black and other races for career development and talent
management. They ensure diversity in the composition of the commission's hiring
boards. Sponsor employees of different races and minority groups for leadership
roles. They also seek to develop staff by improving their skills and language
proficiency. They are committed to learning about racism, reconciliation,
accessibility, equity, and inclusion, among other activities.
One of the most
important points that I analyzed is that they are working hard to be influential
and credible national voices for human rights, denouncing racism and
intolerance. They are using various platforms to help ensure that the truth
about systemic racism and discrimination in Canada remains part of the public
debate. This means combating all forms of racism, discrimination, and other
barriers to inclusion in the workplace, acting on what we've learned,
empowering employees to speak out about prejudice and oppression, and better
equipping managers to address these issues.
The results of their efforts are independently analyzed and audited. This helps to make the results of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, which is an organization with limited resources, real and truthful. They have experienced greater acceptance and commitment from their employees and have demonstrated that change is possible when change is truly made for the common good.
This article is a great example for companies, its procedures and policies are totally applicable to any company that wants to have racial and cultural diversity. Workplaces that are inclusive are locations where all employees can feel like they belong, participate, and succeed.
I believe that companies that only risk creating a workplace that tolerates differences rather than appreciates them are merely focusing on diverse representation without adequately recognizing the lived experiences of all. While inclusion has many advantages, it requires a deliberate effort on the part of companies and executives.

Good job, Laura. I agree with you that a company should recognise the lived experiences of employees from different backgrounds. That’s why diversity can improve team performance and stimulate creativity. Also, a company should develop a robust system in place to protect minority rights. This will encourage each individual to express his/her ideas freely and be willing to take risks.

ReplyDeleteGood job, Laura. You explained the importance of racial diversity in the workplace very well. I believe every company should take initiative and apply policies and procedures to ensure inclusivity and diversity. To encourage involvement from every employee, diversity and inclusion should be seamlessly interwoven into every aspect of the business, not just the HR department. Senior management should adopt a top-down strategy and treat racial diversity as a serious issue.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Laura, your blog is very well done. Companies should definitely apply policies to ensure everyone has equal opportunity no matter what ethnic, cultural, or religious group you are apart of. Equality of opportunity is essential in a democratic society because it ensures everybody has a chance and is not limited because of prejudice and discrimination.
