According to research, diversity programs are failing.  

They fail because of poor implementation, or in other words, no one knows what to do with the new chief diversity officer. Droves of people of colour are hired, then isolated or left alone to do the work as many have reported.  They feel like isolated props, not active changemakers.

Thousands of dollars are spent on campaigns, consultants, and training to fix the “lack of diversity” problem.  The “inclusion” solution is also wrought with challenges, as more differences and fragmentation get served.

If diversity and inclusion programs are failing at work, is work the place to be suddenly enlightened by race?  It is likely that if you are having problems with microaggressions at work, you have experienced them in the supermarket and other parts of your life. It just doesn’t magically appear at work and no place else.

Looking Beyond The Workplace

According to licensed clinical psychologist, Soye Zaid-Muhammad, “The job is a good place to address multicultural issues regarding race or gender. However, it should not be the only place. We live and work within the context of transactional systems that are interdependent on one another, creating endless feedback loops.”
