TW: Mention of discriminatory work policies and practices
Structures and systems are a natural part of the workplace but, unfortunately, many might not realize they are discriminatory. What does this look like?
🔺Dress codes and grooming standards that make it hard to wear cultural or religious items, afros, beards, dreadlocks, and/or braids, or that may force someone to contradict their gender identity and expression.
🔺 Forcing staff to participate in certain activities, holidays, or other observances.
🔺 Having a pay scale that disproportionately disadvantages marginalized groups.
Can this be changed? Yes! With awareness, accountability, and dedication, you can start identifying and deconstructing any discriminatory systems you may have in place.
