In addressing systemic racism in the workplace, accomplished HR strategist Shereen Daniels pulls no punches.  
 
A gifted speaker, educator and entrepreneur, her direct, yet compassionate approach have seen her twice recognised as a LinkedIn Top Voice and former winner of HR Magazine's Most Influential Thinker. 

As Managing Director of anti-racism advisory firm HR rewired (hr-rewired.com), Chair of her charitable foundation The African Diaspora Economic Inclusion Foundation (adeif.org) and Senior Advisor to Lansons (lansons.com), Ms Daniels is called upon as the go-to personality on both sides of the Atlantic to support executive board and senior HR leadership teams tackle the complex, nuanced and often uncomfortable dialogue surrounding racism in the workplace.   

📓 The Anti-Racist Organization: Dismantling Systemic Racism in the Workplace 

The first UK business book about systemic racism was published in May 2022, with over 100 Amazon reviews, it has consistently hit no.1 spots in Amazon’s Hot New Release, HR Training, Organisational Theory and Behaviour and Discrimination and Racism categories.  

Main insights: 

- It's impossible to hire your way into fixing this problem i.e. hiring more Black people, a mistake many organizations are still making.

- Without holding frequent space for executive board conversations about racism to build courage, confidence and racial literacy, it becomes difficult to build robust plans that stand up to public scrutiny. 

- Having the right language to talk about racism and utilising frameworks to help take meaningful action is a key differentiator. It takes skill and knowledge beyond just having lived experience - and it’s barely discussed in most general diversity and inclusion articles, books and whitepapers or accounted for in organizations who don't have access to senior level expertise. 

- There is a difference between transactional and transformational change. Most organizations struggle to know the difference so end up focusing on the former, which leads to short-term low impact tokenistic initiatives.

HR rewired

HR rewired is an advisory firm specialising in anti-racism and racial equity. With a mission to unlock over one million global conversations about race by 2025, we have partnered with organisations such as Vodafone, Totaljobs Group, Wagamama, Prostate Cancer and Duke of Edinburgh Awards to advance anti-racism and racial equity in the workplace.

- Education around racism: We provide education and awareness for executives, HR and colleagues who are uncomfortable talking about race. This can be keynotes to empower audiences or off sites for boards and employee resource groups. 

- We facilitate conversations for employees to create a safe space to speak and listening forums for Black colleagues to share their truth.  

- We provide independent audits to understand how companies are doing internally. Boards often think they don’t have a problem because they are open, welcoming and color blind but they have no idea what the data looks like and how racism manifests in their organisation.

African Diaspora Economic Inclusion Foundation (UK)

The African Diaspora Economic Inclusion Foundation (ADEIF) was registered as a charity on 29th November, founded by bestselling author and Managing Director of HR rewired, Shereen Daniels.
Our ground-breaking charity works to specifically address issues of economic inequality for members of the African Diaspora, in particular supporting and uplifting African heritage female entrepreneurs and business-owners.
Through providing grants and hosting events, we provide both financial and non-financial support to help viable African Diasporic businesses to thrive. Lack of access to finance, funding and network are consistent challenges affecting women business owners. These issues are exacerbated for Black women who face exclusion because of both gender and race and ADEIF exists to help remove those barriers.
