GSEHD alumnus Russell Robinson (Ed.D., Executive Leadership Program, Human and Organizational Learning) was a guest on the Business of Learning podcast entitled, "How Training Professionals Can Help Organizations Eliminate Racism." He was joined by Dr. Theresa Horne, CPTM, and Valerie Jackson, senior director of global inclusion and diversity at Procore Technologies.
Per the podcast description:
As we release this episode in June 2020, the U.S. — and the world — is in a state of unrest. The murders of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor sparked outrage over the systemic racism Black people continue to face in their daily lives and has brought racial injustice to the forefront of conversations among individuals, communities and organizations.
To learn more about what learning and development (L&D) leaders can do to help eliminate racism in the workplace, we spoke with Dr. Theresa Horne, CPTM, and Dr. Russell Robinson, senior training professionals at government agencies, and Valerie Jackson, senior director of global inclusion and diversity at Procore Technologies.
Topics include:
- The challenges Black employees, and other racial minorities, face in today’s business environment.
- What L&D professionals can do to advance racial equity in the workplace.
- How to ensure that racial equity is always an organizational priority.
