Best practices for combating racism in nonprofit workplace
Following 2020's global protests for racial justice, organizations are beginning to put into action concrete anti-racism policies as workers return to in-office work. Creating a safe, equitable and inclusive space for your organization's employees is integral to building a sustainable team. According to a 2021 study by Future Forum, only 3% of Black white-collar workers wanted to return to in-person work, contrasted with 21% of their white colleagues.
As workers return to the office post-COVID-19, they face new hybrid work models, shifts in organizational policies and in some cases, new teams entirely. Additionally, many organizations have denounced discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion and gender, contributing to the changing dynamics of workplaces. Navigating these policies as a team is a challenging feat. How do teams ensure leadership is held accountable? How do you implement new policies and engage in difficult conversations? What does it look like to be vulnerable and brave?
New York Nonprofit Media spoke with Diana Noriega, chief anti-racism and equity officer at Good Shepard Services, to discuss coming together in the workplace as a community, beginning difficult conversations and integrating anti-racist and equity frameworks into existing organizational structures.
