How to Promote Racial Equity in the Workplace (read School Community) - Harvard Business Review

"Racial discrimination, Livingston writes, occurs far more frequently in the workplace than most people suspect, but because organizations are autonomous and afford leaders a high level of control over norms and policies, they're ideal places to promote racial equity. The first step, he writes, is to cultivate awareness. But there’s much more to the job than that. Effective interventions involve many stages, which Livingston has incorporated into a model he calls PRESS.

The stages are:

1. Problem awareness

2. Root-cause analysis

3. Empathy

4. Strategies for addressing the problem

5. Sacrifice"
