Episode 14 In the U.S. many white men have become angry, confused or indifferent to the myriad of diversity efforts in corporate America and often express feeling excluded from inclusiveness efforts. Yet, some women, people of color, and other non-majority groups perceive that white men have always “had a seat at the table” based on being part of the dominant corporate culture. White Male Culture still remains “the norm” in corporate America today. White men rarely have to leave white male culture and because it’s like the water they swim in, many white men are often unaware of this culture and how it impacts women and people of color as well as themselves and other white men. Should white men be included in diversity strategies, and if so how? What is white male culture? What are the impacts of white male culture in the workplace? What are the implications of a culture so pervasive that it is often invisible? How can we bridge the gaps and create successful diversity partnerships that span differences in the workplace? How can organizations more effectively engage white men in their diversity and inclusiveness efforts? Co-hosts Judy Seidenstein and Richard Friend address these and other provocative questions with guests Frank McCloskey, Vice President Diversity at Georgia Power, Dev Pathik, CEO of White Men As Full Diversity Partners, and Bill Proudman, Managing Partner of White Men As Full Diversity Partners.
