A Better Workplace Wistia Studios

In the 10th and final episode of the season, Jane and Colin sit down with Beth Chandler, President & CEO of YW Boston. Beth explains how organizations can conduct effective diversity training, why hiring diverse talent shouldn’t be your sole focus, and how to replace boring box-checking exercises with lasting, meaningful change.

Jane and Colin speak with Lillian Medville, creator of the card game Your Privilege Is Showing. Listen to Lillian, Jane and Colin play a round of the game, and learn how it helps people have more effective conversations, broach challenging questions and address privilege.

Jane and Colin are joined by three guests on this episode of A Better Workplace: DEI consultant Annalee Flower Horne, Bentley University Professor of English and Media Studies Wiley Davi, and Bentley University’s Director of Corporate Education at the Center for Women and Business Yaro Fong-Olivares. They explain how building a workplace culture around assuming good intentions can negatively impact equity-seeking groups.

Microaggressions are subtle, everyday exchanges that can cause real pain for members of equity-seeking groups. In the latest episode of A Better Workplace, DEI consultant and Founder of The Corporate Tea, Toni Howard Lowe, speaks with Jane and Colin about language and behaviors to look out for in the workplace and how to create a safe space for dialogue that leads to awareness and change.

Founder and CEO of The Antiracism Academy, Brandee Blocker Anderson, joins Jane and Colin to discuss what it means to code-switch and how code-switching impacts people of color in and out of the workplace.

DEI consultant Stephanie Battaglino speaks with Jane and Colin about the challenges trans and gender non-conforming communities face in and out of the workplace. They discuss practical steps each of us can take to be better allies and make our workplaces more inclusive.
