Invisible barriers: understanding and overcoming social class discrimination in the workplace
Diversity & Inclusion Social origins Anti-discrimination Best practices
Valérie Boas
Today, Valerie puts her 25 years of corporate experience at the service of training on subjects close to her heart: diversity and inclusion, gender equality, personal finance and communication.
Social origin is not always clearly perceived as a criterion for discrimination. Yet the exclusion and stigmatization of people from working-class and modest backgrounds is a long-standing and well-documented phenomenon.
Not only does such discrimination undermine society's equilibrium and the mental health of its members, it also deprives companies of talent and threatens the well-being and commitment of their teams.
The response to this “classism” is partly a matter for public policy, but not exclusively. Concrete solutions exist to deconstruct prejudice, promote skills, detect talent and foster both fairness and commitment.
Drawing on sociology and literature, as well as concrete examples and easy-to-implement actions, this inspiring and actionable conference will help you and your teams to build a more inclusive company and move towards a fairer society.
