Employee Blaming (Episode 79)

Employee Blaming (Episode 79)

In today’s economy it seems like there are more jobs than there are employees. A result, in part, of the pandemic’s historic job losses and the opportunity it afforded many to consider what they wanted from their work. However, despite employers upping their game in pay and benefits to attract candidates and despite many employers’ commitments to diversify their workforces, we are still seeing the same old excuses emerge when companies struggle to employ people of color, women, and other communities often most marginalized by oppressive working conditions. This week on the pod, Shaunna and Lisa discuss these excuses - a lack of talent, or that no one applied - and how it shifts the blame for organizations’ continued struggle to hire onto the potential employees. Using Wells Fargo CEO Charles Sharf’s 2020 comment on a lack of Black talent as a jumping off point, they explore what this employee blaming does and who it serves.
