When HRM Outlook asked me to contribute an article for their workplace culture edition, I knew exactly what I wanted to write about.
"Using AI to Strengthen Workplace Culture—Not Undermine It"

Let’s not make assumptions about anyone’s disability, or lack thereof.

Let's create a regular ritual for fairness in our workplaces

Graphic with the message If someone says a black woman has unprofessional hair, I’ll speak up and ask, “Is this about job performance? How does their hairstyle affect their work?” There’s also a drawing of a person with dark skin sitting at a desk with a large computer monitor, raising their hand as if to ask a question. Along the bottom is the @BetterAllies handle and credit to @ninalimpi for the drawing.
A study by Dove & LinkedIn found Black women’s hair is 2.5x more likely to be perceived as unprofessional. 20% of Black women have been sent home from work because of their hair.
As #BetterAllies, we can interrupt this bias.
Would you be surprised, or not-so-surprised, to learn that a key driver of gender inequity is who gets stuck with non-promotable work?

"Without hope, we fall into apathy and do nothing." — Dr. Jane Goodall
That quote has been on my mind this week. It’s a powerful reminder that staying hopeful isn’t naive — it’s necessary for change.
Let’s keep building workplaces where everyone can thrive.

By spotlighting great leadership, we help others model themselves on the best—not the worst.
Build the workplace culture you want (and others need).

I admire how our CEO apologizes when they get something wrong.
Let’s call out positive leadership when we see it. By naming and celebrating these examples, we help others model themselves on the best—not the worst.

Is it "free speech," or "me speech" used as a shield for harmful behavior?

I believe people when they share their lived experiences, even if I haven't experienced something similar myself.

On why it's critical we loudly celebrate our coworkers who are traditionally overlooked, underestimated
#Allyship #BetterAllies #InclusionMatters
Quote from Chapter 13 of the book Better Allies by Karen Catlin. It reads "Define or refresh your values.Change starts with each of us as individuals. So, we should ask ourselves: How do we want to operate? How should we treat people? Would we turn down business or investments because of creepy behavior? Would we dismiss our top sales executive after disciplining him for harassment? What are the deals we won’t do because they conflict with our values? When will we walk away from cash?" The sentences about How do we want to operate and What are the deal we don’t do because they conflict with our values are highlighted in a bright yellow to emphasize them.
A quote from the last chapter of my book "Better Allies." Seems more important today than ever.
