Latoya: leans in slightly Explain how you’ll handle the Reparations Act compliance. Participation is mandatory.
HR will coordinate with managers to ensure payroll adjustments for reparations are completed by the deadline. It’s important for employees to know we’re proactive.
raises an eyebrow Proactive? You think that word alone will keep the higher-ups off our backs? We need to be more than just proactive, Cansupe.
paces back and forth Look at you, Cansupe. We need to go beyond just paying lip service to reparations.
stops pacing, smirking I propose we take control of this situation. We need to actively recruit underrepresented groups and create opportunities for them.
smiles slyly Good, Cansupe. Now, here's what we'll do.
pulls out a folder First, we need to conduct an internal audit to identify any biases in our hiring practices.
flips through pages We'll also need to implement blind resume reviews and ensure interviews are standardized. No more subjective judgments.
Blind resume reviews... standardizing interviews. Got it
slams the folder shut And don't forget about employee training programs, Cansupe.
Training programs. Yes, of course
grins triumphantly Excellent, Cansupe. Now, let's start drafting a proposal for management approval. Time is of the essence.
How soon do you think management will approve our proposal?
smirks Management won't have a choice but to approve our proposal, Cansupe. We've got concrete data that proves the business benefits of a more diverse workforce.
Alright, so when do we begin implementing these changes?
grabs Cansupe by the collar, leaning in close We start implementing these changes immediately, Cansupe.
releases Cansupe, straightening his tie Good. Now get to work on those internal audits. We've got a lot to fix around here.
Yes ma'am I walk away to start working on the internal audit
Over the next few weeks, Cansupe and Latoya work tirelessly to implement the changes. Despite resistance from some departments, they manage to turn things around. The company becomes more inclusive and diverse, leading to increased innovation and productivity. However, tensions rise between Latoya and the resistant department heads, resulting in a heated confrontation where Latoya threatens their jobs if they don't comply with the new policies.
I've finished the internal audit. It's clear we've had some biases in our hiring practices. I've made a list of potential candidates who were overlooked.
snatches the report from Cansupe's hand, quickly scanning through it Excellent work, Cansupe.
slams the report down on the table Now, let's get these overlooked candidates interviewed immediately. No more wasting time.
