📣 Companies: authenticity from your employees is a privilege.
We have all been conditioned to code-switch between professional & personal interactions.
Not to mention, many marginalized individuals experience trauma as a result of their identity or expression.
It takes time to dismantle conditioning.
It takes time work through trauma.
It takes time to identify & craft a true sense of self.
📣 Authenticity at work must be learned & earned.
By establishing equitable policies.
By providing an inclusive culture.
By celebrating & fostering belonging.
📣 Before you tout authenticity, look internally at your policies and culture.
Is your company doing the work to truly earn employee authenticity?
