A New Conversation on Diversity is Needed in HR – and Beyond.<\/h2>\n
Do you want to empower employees to engage in open and honest conversations with each other? Do you want to examine emerging issues on diversity and race and their impact on HR and organizational culture? Do you want to assess how well your company is currently doing in its present state?<\/p>\n
As employees face stress related to racial injustices, we can address sensitive issues with empathy, asking open-ended questions, actively listening, and mediating divergent thinking and breaking down barriers in a safe space. Many companies check the box on diversity, inclusion, and diverse hiring practices. Now, Human Resources professionals and leaders must learn how to mediate sensitive conversations while empowering employees to engage in honest dialogue and talk to each other.<\/p>\n

As experts in diversity and inclusion, how have the last two months been for you? How are you doing right now?<\/h2>\n
Tiana Sanchez: <\/strong>My expertise in in organizational effectiveness and that includes aspects of diversity and inclusion practices. In two months, I\u2019ve witnessed the best and the worst of humanity. As black woman who spent most of her career being the only brown face in the room, who bore a black boy and fears for his life every single day and whose parents were not afforded opportunities due to redlining, prejudice and white flight, I\u2019m cautiously hopeful.<\/p>\nDr. Parks: <\/strong>Working in this space, you are always aware of that there are many different levels to individuals\u2019 understanding and acceptance of the inclusion and diversity problems within organizations. These past two months have brought a new awareness to some and ignited a fire in others. I like that we are making progress, but it is difficult to still manage spaces where people feel drastically different about the topic and are still struggling to find acceptance of how deep the issues are. I do find that I have to constantly remind myself that it is my position to meet people where they are, as opposed to expecting them to be where I want them to be. Personally, I find myself filled with a variety of emotions from anger and pain to frustration and empathy. I try to celebrate each step forward.<\/p>\nTiana, can you tell us a bit about what inspired you to write your books, Undefeatable<\/span> and F’d UP<\/span>?<\/h2>\nTiana Sanchez: <\/strong>Both books are inspired in part by my life\u2019s experiences an overcoming adversity in both my personal and professional life. Undefeatable<\/span> is a book about hope, faith, and determination. I was an avid kickboxer and I liked the parallels between boxing and a determined attitude. When my eldest son was a senior in High School, we discussed writing a book together that would help his generation view \u201csuccess\u201d differently. F\u2019d UP<\/span> was birthed with my son writing the last chapter in the book. Surprisingly, corporations and executives in addition to young adults resonated with F\u2019d UP<\/span> and it has since been a best-selling book and one of most requested topics!<\/p>\nDr. Parks, can you tell us a bit about your background and your research? How did you and Tiana start working together professionally?<\/h2>\n
Dr. Parks:<\/strong> My background is in the science of behavior, or behavior analysis, and psychology. I worked for many years in the field of autism and developmental disabilities and transitioned to focusing on organizational development and leadership about seven years ago. I have done research in culture, diversity, and inclusion since graduate school and began focusing on it within my business about two years ago. Initially, it came about as working with leaders, it was evident that many organizational problems were due to lack of inclusive practices in the organization. I currently work with organizations that focus on community improvement including healthcare, non-profits, fire departments, and the police force. I met Tiana at a networking even when I lived in Los Angeles and we immediately clicked surrounding our common focus on leadership.<\/p>\nTiana, you’ve performed diversity audits for many companies. What is one of the top warning signs to you that a company needs a diversity audit?<\/h2>\n
Tiana Sanchez:<\/strong> Our firm has administered many audits on Employee Engagement, Organizational Effectiveness, Culture and Diversity. In all cases, the audits were a response to solving pre-existing problems already happening within the organization. Problems that included the mishandling of an employees\u2019 performance that rose to the level of a complaint, an organizational restructuring that transferred people into positions in which they were not properly trained causing an unmotivated workforce, a newly appointed department leader with little to no experience having difficulty building trust with their team, and an organization that was called out publicly and\/or privately for the appearance of \u201cprivilege.\u201d Warning signs or rather a company should monitor the Company\u2019s Attitude Toward Diversity, Company Culture, the existence of Unconscious Bias, Diverse Career Development Opportunities, Roles and Privileges, Interaction, Policies and Procedures, and the frequency and quality of Diversity Training.<\/em><\/p>\nWhat is one thing that demonstrates to you that a company is willing and ready to implement real change in their diversity and inclusion?<\/h2>\n
Dr. Parks: <\/strong>The biggest thing that tells me that an organization is ready and willing to implement real change is buy in and support from the leadership, meaning the leaders of the organization are looking at their own behaviors and not just looking to change the behavior of others. I also look to see if they are trying to change culture and cultural practices of the organization or if they are attempting to check a box so they can say they addressed it, but do not want to put any financial or energy resources into it.<\/p>\nIn your presentation, Tiana, you mentioned that companies shouldn\u2019t confuse a voiced concern with a troublemaker. What would you recommend to HR professionals advocating on behalf of these concerns?<\/h2>\n
Tiana Sanchez: <\/strong>First, getting someone to speak up if they feel unsafe will be difficult. Safety is predicated on trust and whether there will be retribution or backlash as a result of speaking up. How many incidents have been reported to HR? How many performance reviews used the term \u201cdisengaged, poor attitude, problem employee?\u201d<\/em> Investigate those claims and review those reviews through an objective lens. If you cannot be objective, invite an uninterested third party. Second, create a \u201csafe space\u201d for employees to voice concerns. A safe space is free of judgment, unintimidating, and includes a member of that employees\u2019 ethnicity, gender, or age group. Lastly, Human Resources must steward, coach leaders, and vigilantly holding them to a higher degree of accountability. The future of organizations rests on changing the narrative that HR’s sole function is managing the business of people but rather a strategic partner managing the relationships we have with people and relationships are built on\u2026trust.<\/p>\nWhat is one way HR professionals can support their BIPOC employees throughout the year, and not only in crises?<\/h2>\n
Tiana Sanchez: <\/strong>HR professionals can support their Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) throughout the year and not only in a crisis by affirming BIPOC and creating a safe space for dialogue, make provisions to those that are most impacted and audit your inclusion and diversity practices annually or bi-annually.<\/strong> Acknowledge the emotional trauma, cultural and racial barriers that your black employees are experiencing. Provide equitable resources and incite corporate social responsibility practices. Redirect annual philanthropy spend to communities most impacted to demonstrate compassion, concern, and the need for real change. Promises are nice but they do not mean much if they are not followed up with action.<\/p>\nWhat is one common mistake companies make when embarking on improving their inclusion\/diversity\/culture?<\/h2>\n
Dr. Parks:<\/strong> There are a couple mistakes that companies make when addressing inclusive cultures. The first is they attempt to address their lack of diversity without understanding that part of the issue is likely because they do not have a culture of inclusion. Thus, they only focus on recruiting people who look different, without focus on making sure the culture embraces new people who have differences. The second largest problem is that they think diversity and inclusion are something separate from the rest of the business. Inclusive businesses have a culture where differences are seen as a strength and leaders provide equitable opportunities to all employees. Unfortunately, a lot of companies think that if they provide a training or two on what diversity and inclusion are, the problem will be solved. It takes real behavior change and systems change to ensure inclusion becomes part of daily practice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
