In times of racial unrest and social justice movements, many organisations release statements of solidarity, but few follow through with meaningful action. We saw this in 2020 with an abundance of black squares but a dearth of long-term planning, and again in 2024 with the UK race hate riots.
Here we are in 2025, following a weekend of protests, and the same mistakes are being made. Maybe, in the past, your good intentions caused unintended harm. Now you're scared to take action, or your Board has been slow in signing things off. Meanwhile, your racially minoritised staff continue to disengage from your organisation. Trust is being eroded and your reputation along with it.
Quiet quitting and actual resignations among racially minoritised staff often stem from a lack of trust, psychological safety, and visible action from leadership, especially during social crises like these.
This one-hour workshop is for leaders who are ready to move beyond performative allyship and create workplaces where racially diverse staff feel genuinely supported, valued, and safe.
This workshop will help you:
- Understand the emotional and professional toll of racial injustice on your staff.
- Recognise the signs of disengagement and quiet quitting.
- Learn actionable strategies to build trust and demonstrate authentic commitment.
- Create a workplace culture that retains and uplifts racially diverse talent.
