racism and wellbeing

Race-base micro-incivilities are commonly experienced in workplaces across the UK. In this podcast, we discuss how these can be addressed within the workplace, from both an organisational and individual perspective.

Find out about our micro-incivilities workshops. 

This season we will be examining race from a historical, statistical, behavioural, and psychological perspective. We hope that this will provide a wide-ranging exploration of how race and identity function at work, which in turn will help organisations to foster empathy, initiate meaningful conversations and understand race-based dialogue within the workplace.

The first episode of the series features audio from a talk delivered by Professor Binna Kandola OBE in October 2020 on ‘Why do we have to keep talking about the slave trade?’. In this episode Professor Kandola will be examining the topic of racial trauma; including how it is defined, the different ways that it manifests and the lasting impact that it has on people.

You may have heard of ‘power posing’. You may have even tried the superwoman/man pose yourself before a big event. Join us for a deeper exploration of what we mean by ‘personal power’, where we explore how feeling powerful energises our thoughts and behaviour. Who has the power in most workplaces? Should these benefits be limited to those with structural or social power in the workplace? In this episode, Jonathan Taylor shares the implications from the latest academic research, how this can support Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) colleagues experiencing discrimination and exclusion, and how we can use this as part of a more holistic approach to Diversity and Inclusion.
