Professionals of color, whether in the legal industry or elsewhere, face hurdles to advancement in their careers that non-minority colleagues may not face, nor in some cases, even be aware of. Indeed, some of these hurdles can occur in the most benign workplace settings, like group meetings, performance reviews, networking opportunities, and client introductions.

A recent 成人VR视频 survey of 100 individuals from underrepresented groups, primarily from the legal and finance industries, showed that respondents indicated they want allies to speak out to question bias when it occurs. More specifically, the responses overwhelming referred to situations in group settings when bias is displayed and that most people in the majority (white men) lack awareness of the group鈥檚 power dynamics.

Common communication scenarios mentioned included:

• • • 聽sitting by when diverse people are interrupted;
    • 聽allowing one person to dominate the dialogue unchecked in group meetings;
    • 聽failing, by those of influence, to invite less-vocal individuals to share; and
    • 聽accepting ongoing unproductive behavior, such as belittling a colleague in a meeting or constant interruption by one person.

Although not a communication scenario, professionals of color reported feeling discomfort when speaking up or sharing if they are the only person of color among all white people in the room.

6 Ways to Be a Better Ally

The results of the survey also focused on the ideal behaviors of those who would be allies. Respondents from underrepresented groups outlined the following behaviors as ideal examples of how allies could make a difference:

1. 1. 1. 聽聽聽聽 Display curiosity and seek to understand the 鈥渓ived experience鈥� of diverse colleagues and don鈥檛 brush it off by, for example, saying, 鈥淭hat is not true鈥� when a person of color shares their truth.
      2. 聽聽聽聽 Listen and allow the person to finish speaking before talking.
      3. 聽聽聽聽 Speak up in group settings when another colleague is interrupted and invite the person who was shut down to complete sharing their thought.
      4. 聽聽聽聽 Intervene politely when one person is dominating the conversation in a group and request that quiet attendees join the dialogue.
      5. 聽聽聽聽 Attend workplace community gatherings hosted by affinity groups, employee business resource groups, and underrepresented groups.
      6. 聽聽聽聽 Assign one person during a group meeting to watch the situations described above in #3 and #4 in order to better guard against bias and allow all people to participate in meetings.
