Race and Racism in the Canadian Workplace
Race and Racism in the Canadian Workplace
Racism exists in Canadian society and, as such, it is important to look at racism in our work environments, as our workplaces are microcosms of the wider society. Race is a social construct, and can lead to biases, stereotypes and discrimination. This workshop looks at ways in which racism shows up in the workplace. It outlines how organizations can move from inclusive workplaces to anti-racist workplaces and describes specific strategies to achieve this transition.
