Experts say commitments to tackle racism in the workplace have not been met with enough action as a report released Tuesday found more than 70 per cent of Black Canadians still experience racism or microaggressions on the job.
Tarisai Madambi, co-lead of KPMG’s Black Professionals Network, said that while many companies have taken steps such as setting diversity targets or establishing employee resource groups to advance racial equity, it’s just as important to act on the recommendations of racialized employees. According to the survey, 80 per cent of respondents feel they can speak up about racism at work without being stigmatized and that they have allies who will stand up for them when they witness instances of discrimination.
Eighty-six per cent called for more appointments of Black people to boards of directors or senior management ranks, while 82 per cent urged moreanti-racism education and training for employees and management. “Nobody wants to feel like they are being forced into things. The last thing I would like to see is organizations making commitments because they feel like they’re doing this as a checkbox or a compliance matter. It really needs to be something that we believe in.”
Oh BULL S*IT. Young blacks are taught they are always VICTIMS. Why the hell should companies always hire blacks and not the MOST QUALIFIED? Educate yourself, work hard. The hiring, the promotions and benefits will come. Life isn't a piece of cake.
Canada and Canadians are racist how would they solve the problem if they’re don’t see a problem when they are just been themselves ?

Why is racism wrong
We need more racism actually.
There is no racism in the workplace other than government and media. You scum bags will have your day
Correct , white racism !
Probably because what constitutes racism is a constantly shifting definition used to suit the aim of anyone with an axe to grind. (geez I hope “axe to grind” has never been linked to racism)
Because priority hires, and affirmative action isn't racist?
Want to bring unity to the people of Canada? Get rid of Justin Trudeau and the Liberals.
There is no racism, so nothing to talk about.
Nonsense.
Absolutely right, Globe. It's time to start firing all the black people- the 'affirmative action mentality' was a failure and we need to rehire the productive white people.
