peakon.com/life-at-peakon… I joined Peakon just under 2 months ago & it has been a privilege to lead their DE&I work, creating their 1st strategy and report. Here are some of the highlights for us, as a company of 230 people ✅

I've came across lots of folks who have been emotionally abused by their workplace - where they no longer feel like they can separate personal selves from their work. On many occasions, organisational leadership may take advantage of this... here's how to spot this happening /1 Being asked to work much longer hours regularly (not just to meet a deadline or get something over the line). When you speak up about this, you're told thar you just don't get the mission or you're just not "passionate" enough. Passion will be used as a "criteria" to gatekeep.

1 reason orgs hire experienced folks is because they have a gap to fill. The knowledge doesn’t exist internally & they need it to continue to succeed/progress. Bringing people from different backgrounds & exps is good. It stops an echo chamber forming. What isn’t good is... /1 bringing those people in & expect them to fit your way only. What you get when you hire someone externally is different ideas/environments. If they come from a different org, there'll be time for them to settle into way that works for both of you, however this works both ways /2

Your org needs to step up for Black folks right now. Here’s some pointers in thread 🧵- silence isn’t an option. /1 Post about this in company channels - not just Black/race-focused groups. This is relevant for everyone. Talk about systemic racism, sharing links to Black-driven research, making it clear this is a structural issue we all must address /2
