Diversity and the Ink Ceiling
Is your company embracing its company culture or is it unwittingly falling into groupthink? While everyone wants to “fit into” an organization, diversity can unconsciously be pushed to the wayside – including the tattooed population. Recent estimates show that 40% of Millennials have tattoos or some other form of body modification. Combine that with Gen Xers own ink, a significant portion of the work force carries body art. While not considered part of the typical demographics that are used to track diversity – such as gender, race, and age – many companies are starting to loosen their dress codes in considering tattoos. However, that’s not true everywhere! With my guest and diversity expert, Myranda Whitesides, we will discuss the lingering stigma towards tattoos, the importance of diversity, and understanding how well different industries deal with body art.
