Companies are addressing racism through open dialogue sessions β but is it working?
As the Black Lives Matter movement continues to shine a light on systemic racism, many companies are committing to βlistening and learningβ to the lived experiences of underrepresented groups through open dialogue sessions to help make concrete plans that will advance equity, diversity and inclusion. Despite the well-intentions, these sessions have been subject to criticism.

βThis is a step. Not an antidote. Itβs a critical component to a larger, strategic plan.β
