This week is RACE equality week! The first Race Equality Week was held in February 2021, launching with the theme #LetNotGoBackToNormal, Last year the theme was #ItsEveryonesBusiness - when you think about it, tackling race inequality should be everyone’s business. This year its #ListenActChange, so ask yourself, what part do you play in tackling race inequality at work and in your social groups? Do you play a consistently active role or play a part on occasions when its convenient or hardly ever? Ask yourself these questions and reflect, you can use these as discussion points at team meetings: 1. When you or your team organise social activities, how often are everyone’s opinions, concerns and beliefs taken into account? 2. Have you ever heard or spoken to someone and made assumptions based on their accent? 3. In your social groups and work networks how many people are from ethnically diverse backgrounds? 4. Have you ever avoided sitting next to someone based on how you perceived their race, religion, or ability? 5. Have you ever specified someone’s race when it was not necessarily relevant, for example, referring to someone as ‘a black Engineer’ or ‘Asian nurse’? We all have a role to play in the fight for racial equality in the workplace, are you ready to #ListenActChange?
