Klappentext

"The advancement of Black and other people of color in the workplace is collapsing as companies turn away from their promises of "racial reconciliation" made in 2020. This period saw a sharp rise in Black talent, from DEI managers to CEOs to junior-level hires. Now, in 2024, American employers are hemorrhaging these same employees, the direct result of an alarming retreat from the active creation of workplaces and leadership that reflect the nation's diversity. That retreat is characterized by underemployment, cracked glass cliffs, toxic work environments, and claims of "empty pipelines." More concerning, Black and other professionals of color often face greater scrutiny than their peers regarding job applications, work experience, and qualifications, forcing them to repeatedly prove their worth, intelligence, and even their right to be in the workplace. And that scrutiny has a name: competency checking. When in comes to hiring Black talent, the pipeline isn't broken; rather, it is the assumptions we make about who we consider employable. In Qualified, award-winning executive and journalist Shari Dunn combines deep research with enlightening interviews and anecdotes from across the broad spectrum of her career to uncover the history of competency checking, how it manifests in the workplace, and what can be done to change it. Competency checking, Dunn argues, continues to be practiced consciously and unconsciously and is the key reason why Black and other people of color are underrepresented in so many industries, and why there continues to be a revolving door of Black talent even after the hiring surges of 2020"--
