Diverse group of people dressed in identical white suits are lined up facing one another. Quote says: “We define norms as group-level evaluations of behaviour. People apply (negotiate, interpret, and manage) norms in particular contexts. The evaluation aspect of norms is straightforward. It refers to approval or disapproval. The group-level aspect is more complex... Scholars thus generally treat norms as having two components: the content of the evaluation and its enforcement” - A/ Prof Christine Horne and Prof Stefanie Mollborn (2020)

Infographic of people of colour standing looking sad with their arms around each other, holding up fists, and hugging. Quote says: 'Statements like “It was just a joke” or “What’s the big deal?” reflect a lack of understanding that a single seemingly insignificant act or statement may symbolise a much larger system of oppression or discrimination. Effective leaders understand the deeper relevance of microinequities, rather than dismissing them as isolated events.'

Quote says: ‘The protection of dignity is one of the most important challenges that people of colour face in corporate organisations. Dignity is the ability to experience a sense of self-worth while also being principled about respecting the equal worth of their lives. Dignity is a relational concept, even when it appeals to a sense of individuality.’

Quote says: ‘At work, the accumulation of seemingly petty experiences of disrespect, humiliations, rejections, blocked opportunities, and hostilities symbolically signifies the ‘‘glass ceiling’’ or ‘‘concrete wall,’’ where colour is a determining factor for upward mobility or for moving sideways, to the centre of an organisation.’
