This recording was made prior to the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers. It is the firm belief of mine that black lives matter. My initial hope for this episode was to give a platform to a black voice in HR, which seems more pertinent now than ever, which is why this episode has been brought forward in the season. Considering how racism in your organisation can be perpetuated by, or how black people can feel excluded because of the way wellbeing strategies are designed is something that isn't being talked about enough.
