Creating a work environment that fosters inclusion and respect for all is essential in ensuring that people of color are not discriminated against and their voices are heard. This can be done through initiatives such as promoting diversity in hiring practices and providing sensitivity training for staff, along with establishing grievance procedures to handle complaints should they arise. Additionally, listening to employees of color and creating opportunities for them to share their experiences helps build trust between employer and employee. Finally, organizations should strive to elevate the ideas, stories and perspectives from marginalized groups within its walls as this sends an implicit message that their voices are valued and makes it easier for them to speak out.

Organizations should have policies and procedures in place to ensure equal opportunities for all employees, especially people of color. Fostering an inclusive culture is critical to preventing discrimination, and best practices include diversity trainings for hiring managers and other personnel as needed; evaluating processes such as recruitment, performance reviews and promotions to identify disparities; creating safe reporting mechanisms; encouraging open dialogue among all staff about inclusion issues; setting measurable goals related to diverse talent acquisition, promotion and pay equity; ensuring that internal complaint systems are functioning effectively, along with transparent communication about outcomes. Furthermore, it is important that managers actively solicit the opinions of their employees from different backgrounds so that the voices of these employees are heard. Establishing employee resource groups comprised of both white colleagues and people of color can be a great avenue for addressing issues around race while encouraging colleagues from all walks of life to collaborate.
