Racial tension is at a high unseen in decades in America. While the call for equality comes from the highest ranks, there’s a social and political revolution underway. There is no doubt that it’s on the minds of most employees when they come to the office.
In this Twitter chat we’ll examine how companies should respond to national controversies like police violence and the Black Lives Matter movement to best support employees. We’ll also discuss how companies can work to improve equality by increasing diversity in their ranks directly.
TriplePundit has teamed up with Symantec to offer this Twitter Chat as a learning opportunity for all, including ourselves.
During #BLMandBeyond, we’ll discuss the following and much more!
This Twitter Chat accompanies our ongoing series on the Black Lives Matter movement.
