Organizations looking to foster a workplace culture of belonging not only need to adopt a broad DEI lens, but to recognize how their employees can belong to multiple marginalized groups. In short, they need to embrace intersectionality.
Coined by activist and scholar, Kimbrelé Williams Crenshaw, the term "intersectionality" describes how interlocking systems of power affect those who are marginalized in society. While more organizations are talking about DEI than ever before, they aren't all consciously implementing behaviors to promote more diverse, equitable, and inclusive environments for all. The real work comes when we recognize intersectionality and tackle microaggressions in the workplace.
Join this enriching discussion with Dr. Damary Bonilla Rodriguez, seasoned DEI leader with over a decade of experience, to further the DEIB initiatives in your organization.
Key takeaways:
- How to acknowledge intersectionality in the workplace
