The Eruption of Privilege in the Workplace

Roger, Kami and Ishreen reflect on the outcomes of their recent research and discuss how for many organisations the unexpected or inappropriate use of privilege is something that can erupt at any time causing problems and issues for both the organisation and the individuals involved
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS
We have to live with the fact that privilege is something that is a co-existent factor in every organisation
Subconscious or unconscious feelings are something everyone brings with them into the workplace
Factors change in the workplace and as situations change privilege erupts
Privilege is prevalent in 96% of all organisations and in every headline you can see privilege at work
It’s important to give space to having shared accountability in the workplace around approaching structural violence
It has to start with values, vision , mission and behaviours and this needs to live throughout the organisation
You need to bring the values to life by articulating the behaviours expected at each level and through meaningful decisions
 
BEST MOMENTS
‘We’ve got something we’ve uncovered that we’ve got to live with’
‘There are so many different facets to relative privilege’
‘We are all in the eco system with different levels of privilege’
