Diversity is a critical factor for many job seekers nowadays.
Not knowing if the company you’re applying for is really committed to diversity, equity and inclusion can lead you into a trap.
In this episode, we are talking to Ekow Sanni-Thomas, the Founder and CEO of Inside Voices.
Dubbed as the Glassdoor for diversity, Inside Voices is set out to bring change to the workplace by helping job seekers make informed choices when deciding where to work by reviewing a company’s track record for diversity and inclusion through employees’ honest, unedited, anonymous company reviews.
In this interview, Ekow shared how he founded the company to become one of the solutions to the damaging effects of racism in the workplace and as a way to hold companies accountable.
He also shares:
- His first-hand experience with racial discrimination from his previous work
- The discriminatory patterns from co-workers that you should watch out for
- The emotional and mental impact of racism
- Why it’s difficult for victims of racial discrimination to specify race as the motive behind the treatment
- How Inside Voices works - what it does to empower job seekers and the change it hopes to achieve in the workplace
- The difference in terms of workplace experience of people of color in the UK vs the US
- What do companies, and the society, need to do to increase workplace diversity and inclusion
