ALISON BEARD: And are there any organizations that you’ve seen already really fundamentally change the way they work, how they hire, how they promote, how they develop in a way that has supported people of color? ALISON BEARD: The other issue I’d like to address, we’re talking about supporting people of color as leaders, promoting black managers and executives, getting them into this sort of, getting them into the sort of white-collar management, corporate environment. Maybe it takes kind of backing the organization into a corner, but I guarantee you if enough employees are speaking out against the organization being silent, or not taking up action, it won’t be the employees that are faced with the change, it will be the organization that’s forced to change.
