Make your values known by publicly sharing your intention to close the racial gap at the top of your company.
Evaluate your recruitment strategies and readjust them if needed to include racially diverse prospects.
Listen to understand, not to defend. Be open to hearing about the experiences of the people of color in your workplace and what they believe could make their experience better.
Combat acts of conscious and unconscious bias in the workplace. Employers can’t control what employees think, but they can control what is acceptable workplace behavior.
Be aware of your own bias and actively work to create an emotionally safe and open space for all employees, setting an example for others.
Measure and report. If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.
