RCMP Scenario A: Opportunities... You are asked to lead a new initiative, which involves dealing with a complex but high profile situation, and is likely to be a very visible opportunity to showcase the work of a small team. You are asked to propose a list of co-workers with the skills you need to be successful. You have informal discussions with several of your current team-mates, and others who hear about the project drop by your desk to discuss possibilities. You welcome their input as you put together a strong roster of names. You meet with your director and table the list. They ask why none of your racialized colleagues are being considered for the team. by Maydianne Andrade

On vous demande de diriger une nouvelle initiative, qui implique de faire face à une situation complexe mais très médiatisée, et qui constituera probablement une opportunité très visible de présenter le travail d'une petite équipe. Il vous est demandé de proposer une liste de collègues possédant les compétences dont vous avez besoin pour réussir. Vous avez des discussions informelles avec plusieurs de vos coéquipiers actuels et d'autres personnes qui entendent parler du projet passent à votre bureau pour discuter des possibilités. Vous accueillez favorablement leur contribution alors que vous dressez une solide liste de noms. Vous rencontrez votre directeur et déposez la liste. Ils demandent pourquoi aucun de vos collègues racialisés n’est pris en considération pour l’équipe. en-us 2023-10-19 19:19:26 UTC 2023-10-20 13:50:29 UTC hello@padlet.com How to Add Comments mcba139 https://padlet.com/mcba139/RCMP_A/wish/2756116466 --> Write your own comment:

What process was followed to list these individuals?

One individual taking the decision might be exclusionary. He/she might not know all coworkers’ skills and will only provide names of individuals he/she knows

In order to be inclusive, communication must be sent to all employees with details on the posting and let them know how they can apply and which information they need to provide to be considered for the position

More formal process to provide tools to make an unbiased decision
