, BHM is an excellent time to shine a spotlight on Black history to pay homage and create more opportunities for learning. What are some ways that your company can celebrate BHM this year?. One of the best ways to celebrate BHM is by inviting Black field experts to come speak to your employees. This could be in the form of panel discussions or keynote speeches on relevant topics to your workplace. In addition to hiring Black speakers, it’s important to also pay them, and pay them equitably.
In addition to bringing in Black field experts to speak to your organization, you can also highlight Black employees who are making their mark within your company or industry. Invite Black employees to share their story or any relevant details about their work/life that they feel comfortable sharing. You can compile these stories and send them out as a newsletter to employees or post them to your internal network or intranet.
And then how do we transform these positive thoughts and actions into all aspects of our business? A few actions during one month of the year sounds like a token gesture, when we need everlasting change.
I love Forbes
