I am happy to say that my employer, Herman Miller, is part of CEO Action for Inclusion and Diversity. And this week was part of a campaign of Days of Understanding. The ideas is that company leaders from across the globe host conversations that cultivate understanding among their employees. Hopefully this open dialogue is part of a bigger effort (as ours is at Herman Miller), and not just on one day.
Over the course of the hosted conversations the last couple days, I took notes of meaningful comments and phrases from the moderators and the crowd. I continue to be impressed by my work community’s ability to show up for each other, and be vulnerable in these conversations and explorations of race, culture, and social justice. We still have a long way to go, but I’m confident in our path.
