@Alf0nse gotta speak the truth, some people cant handle it, this should never be your wife's problem. Mentoring within your own profession is a rewarding element of work, gives confidence, purpose and job fulfilment. I hope your wife is offered the role.
@settle we are about to have some very uncomfortable conversations at work, I have highlighted within our newly formed EDI group that we have no black representation, and that makes EDI meaningless and worthless, in my opinion. I am glad however that, our Canadian colleagues are ahead of us. Their first challenge of 2021 is tackling social exclusion of first nationals, the perception of living in a borrowed land, through the lens of silent indignation.
In terms of future hires in our company, we are proposing blind recruitment, remove names and genders from applications, okay we have to accept that if you studied or worked abroad that might lead to racial bias. But let's see if that works among the first round appraisals. After face to face interviews have taken place, I'd like to know why an applicant hasn't been selected, on what observation and evidence. I want the decision makers to justify their selection, at which position and pay grade.
Because not only is there a gender pay gap at work, we need to see the racial pay gap also.
