Racism at Work
Racism at Work
Racism has not been eradicated, despite the enormous strides taken over the past fifty years. It has mutated into new and subtler forms and has found new ways to survive. The racism in organisations today is not characterised by hostile abuse and threatening behaviour. it is not overt nor is it obvious. Today racism is subtle and nuanced, detected mostly by the people on the receiving end, but ignored and possibly not even seen by perpetrators and bystanders. Racism today may be more refined, but it harms people's careers and lives in hugely significant ways. Racism in organisations continues to exist due to our complacency and indifference.
This book describes the origins and evolution of the race bias that distorts our organisations. it explores the effects of race bias. And it confronts the actions that we need to take to make organisations truly equal.
Racism is not a thing of the past - yet.&n

Rise of the Asian CEO
A DIVERSITY and inclusivity specialist has urged the UK to learn from the boom in the number of Indian-origin CEOs of major organisations and cultivate talent from ethnic minority communities.
Last week, US president Joe Biden nominated the former CEO of Mastercard, Ajay Banga, as a preferred candidate to lead the World Bank. This followed the news last month that India-born Neal Mohan, from Lucknow, will be the new head of YouTube, the video-sharing and social media giant.
Mohan joins an elite group of Indian-origin CEOs including Sundar Pichai (Google), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Ivan Menezes (Diageo), Vivek Sankaran (Albertsons Cos Inc), Arvind Krishna (IBM), Punit Renjen (Deloitte) and Leena Nair (Chanel), who lead some of the world’s most successful companies.
