For far too long, human resources (HR) has been there to protect organizations. HR in and of itself is rooted in the enslavement of Black/African Americans and then the continued oppression of historically excluded groups over the past century. Policies and practices that were adopted by HR (i.e., the 40-hour work week, annual performance evaluations, supervisors/managers, etc.) primarily serve to uphold White cultural norms and the continued systemic oppression of people with marginalized identities.
There's a reason why non-profit leadership is still over 90% White. There's a reason why we continue to use the same practices year after year to hire people but then ask ourselves why we're still not diversified. To practice equity and inclusion within nonprofit human resources means accepting that it's going to take culture change.
Join us for this webinar and learn the different ways that we can start building a culture of equity and inclusion in nonprofits through reimagining HR.
