Racial discrimination in human resources is a pervasive issue that can have severe consequences for both individuals and organizations. It is essential to address this problem proactively to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace. We can say that most of the issues related with discrimination are bias in recruitment and hiring where recruiters favor candidates from one racial or ethnic. Some recruiters pick candidates based on their skin color, race, religion and how they look like. This may lead to lack of diversity within the organization. Thus, some of organizations may have discrimination in promoting and advancement, where employee hard to climb over the hardships to get the advancement or promotions just because of their race, skin color or religion. The employee may also hard to grow their skills and professionalism since the company did not give them any chances to try something new or promoting them which can lead to unhealthy job environment.

There a few solutions I can come out with which are:


1.     Try to implement a blind recruitment practices, where recruiters do not know what race, skin color or religion possess by the candidates. Other than that, organizations can also use a diverse hiring panels and provide anti bias training to those who involved in the hiring process to reduce bias and we can also promote diversity.

2.     An organization can states a clear promotion criteria on no matter what color skin you have, you will be treat the same like other people. The organization also can provide an equal access to growth where employees will be given any projects regardless the races and sponsorship programs to supports the development of underrepresented employees.

The topic for today is about lack of diversity, based on the article “Companies are making bold promises about greater diversity, but there’s a long way to go” written by Pippa Stevens.  https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/11/companies-are-making-bold-promises-about-greater-diversity-theres-a-long-way-to-go.html   Companies promise that they will promote diversity in their organizations, but we cannot see if the promises fulfill or not since companies are not required to disclose statistics on the composition of their workforce, which makes tracking broad progress difficult at best.
