'You only got the job or promotion because your black.
For some employees, these words are all too familiar.
These comments can erode the confidence and resilience of the most competent employee.
It can lead to:
-
self-limiting beliefs
-
or the reverse - burn out trying to prove they deserve the job/promotion.
These factors can lead to
-
a decrease in productivity
-
demotivated employees
-
high turnover of employees
But your organisation recognises the value of investing in their employees.
You want …
your employees to realise their untapped potential to contribute
effectively to the organisation
nurture the investment you have already made and assist your
employees with their progression through the organisation
to maintain their retention to enable them to maximise the opportunities
available in the organisation and progress within the organisation.
