Free to soar : race and wellbeing in organisations

A sense of belonging and inclusion in the work place is vital for all employees' wellbeing, yet the default state that minorities find themselves in is exclusion. What's more, minorities are more aware of negative social cues, which can further distance them from their fellow employees. As a result, not only do minorities' emotional states decrease, but their performance does as well. This ground-breaking book examines in detail the negative effects discrimination has on minority groups. It looks at the degree to which employees are affected, mentally and physically, by issues such as racial trauma and micro-incivilities. It discusses how wellbeing and performance at work are intrinsically linked and offers practical solutions for both employers and employees to combat race and bias in the workplace. Ultimately, when minorities' wellbeing increases, so does their resilience, performance, career prospects, and their organisation benefits as well.
