VIDEO: AN INTERSECTIONAL APPROACH


Print

By using an intentionally intersectional approach, companies can increase job
satisfaction and cultivate a workplace where everyone belongs. And now that you
know what intersectionality is and how to begin recognizing it, it’s time to
take the next steps for creating belonging. This happens by asking two
questions:

What needs do we need to address? Before you can devise the right solution, you
have to understand the problem. When it comes to improving the culture of your
workplace, that means understanding the specific needs of your team.Have all
members of a team individually create a list of marginalized identities and how
they might intersect, then consider the difficulties each might face. For
example, a non-citizen may worry about their immigration status. But what might
a person with disabilities who is also a non-citizen worry about?Next, compare
your list with the group's. Which identities were you missing? Which identities’
needs do you need to address today at your organization to create belonging?


How do we address those needs? Once you and your team brainstorm these nuanced
issues, it’s time to take action. But it’s essential to remember that how you
take those steps is just as important as which steps you take. Here are a few
tips:Be intentional about who you invite to the conversation. Ideally, one
member from each identity should be present to help take part in the
solution.Establish rules to protect those who are most vulnerable. While it
might be easy to talk about addressing roadblocks to belonging in theory, it
certainly isn’t for someone who experiences those on a daily basis.Encourage
open communication and a culture of feedback. You cannot begin to cultivate a
sense of belonging in your organization until you accept that people will
disagree with you. It’s vital to encourage feedback and critique so everyone can
grow and all can feel welcome.


Intersectionality means “recognizing the complex experience of
being a multifaceted person, an acknowledgement of the
compounded identities within each person.”
—La’Wana Harris, certified diversity executive 


Watch: For a deeper discussion about intersectionality and how some people
encounter unique obstacles and require innovative solutions, watch this video
from Newcastle University.

Take Action: If you aren’t sure where to begin with understanding
intersectionality, start with yourself! Write down your various identities—from
age to race to gender to sexuality to educational and class backgrounds—then
identify where they overlap. Which of your identities afford you privileges?
Which have led to discriminations and how? Understanding the complexity of
yourself can help you begin to understand it in others.
