Following these five simple tips will help you prevent racial discrimination in the workplace, creating a happier, healthier and positive place for all employees.

1. Focus on Diversity. Create a diverse workplace. Ensure your workplace is ethnically and racially diverse. Reflecting the diverse population of today’s society will help you to better serve your customers, clients or patients. Ensure all employees are equally heard and represented

2. Educate. Provide diversity and inclusion training for employees. It’s important that all employees know what constitutes racial discrimination. It can be anything from a comment to a missed promotion based on race. It’s also important to prevent racism and racial discrimination by cultivating respect and inclusion as organizational values.

3. Write or Review Your Policy. Have an anti-discrimination policy in place. Just like every workplace should have a domestic violence policy in place, there should also be an anti-discrimination policy that sets standards of behaviour. Employees should all be familiar with the policy to ensure that everyone knows racial discrimination will not be tolerated.

4. Build Your Team. Hold regular team-building sessions that focus on employees getting to know each other, creating a positive work environment.

5. Communicate. Encourage open communication by making sure employees feel comfortable discussing concerns with supervisors, HR and/or a designated person in the workplace. If someone feels discriminated against, it’s important they feel safe and comfortable bringing it up
