Listen "298 — How can L&D promote an anti-racist workplace?"
Episode Synopsis
Back in episode 279 of this podcast (February 1, 2022: 'Why work is the ideal place to talk about race'), we spoke with authors Margaret Greenberg and Gina Greenlee about their book The Business of Race. But while we talked extensively about personal experiences and inner work, we didn't have a chance to dig into what L&D can do to promote an anti-racist workplace.
