Facing Racism and Emotional Tax in the Workplace
This course is part of Race, Gender and Workplace Equity Professional Certificate.
This comprehensive course addresses the global reckoning on race and racism by exploring systemic discrimination and bias against marginalized racial and ethnic groups. Drawing on research and practitioner insights, it examines racism, intersectionality, and "Emotional Tax"—the state of being on guard to protect against bias and experiencing associated effects on wellbeing and workplace performance. Participants will develop inclusive leadership skills through personal stories and inclusion frameworks, gaining foundational insights and points of self-reflection. The course guides learners to create an action plan addressing exclusion and unfair treatment in professional environments. Through Catalyst's "Listen-Learn-Link Up-Lead" framework, participants learn how practicing inclusive behaviors creates opportunities for everyone to feel valued and respected, ultimately helping to address racial inequities in workplaces and communities through empathy and allyship.
