PODCAST | How should employers respond to online racism?

How should employers respond to online racism?

After England’s loss on penalties to Italy in the final of Euro 2020, online racist abuse was aimed at Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka.

Very bravely, the three players, who received most of this racist abuse, defended themselves online – backed by their boss, Gareth Southgate, and the FA, their effective summer employer.

In this podcast, Daniel Cave, Head of Content at HR Grapevine, and Kieran Howells, Deputy Editor, explore how employers should react if their employees speak out online, or back a cause, how they should respond to online racism, and if they need to be more purposeful outside of profit.
