In today's rapidly evolving and interconnected world, understanding the nuances of our diverse workforce is more important than ever. It's no longer enough to acknowledge diversity simply; leaders must be informed, compassionate, and proactive in addressing the unique challenges people of color face. One such pressing issue is racism-related stress and its far-reaching consequences on an individual's health and a company's bottom line.

Beyond the undeniable human cost, there's a tangible economic implication for businesses. Elevated health risks can lead to increased healthcare costs, absenteeism, decreased productivity, and higher turnover rates. For businesses, this translates to avoidable economic harm, not to mention the loss of invaluable human capital.

In this workshop, we'll dive deeper into each of these areas, equipping you with the knowledge and tools to foster a workplace environment that recognizes the unique challenges faced by people of color and actively works to mitigate them. By doing so, we can all contribute to healthier employees and a more prosperous business environment.

Learning Objectives
Examine how racially-induced stress can activate the body's fight-or-flight response, which,
over time, can disrupt nearly every system in the body and increase the risk of illnesses such as
heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.

Analyze how racially induced stress can lead to decreased focus and cognitive function, making
it more difficult for individuals to perform their tasks efficiently, causing employees to feel less
connected to their workplace, further reducing their motivation and productivity.

Determine how racially-induced stress can decrease job satisfaction, organizational
commitment, and overall work performance.
