Goldman Sachs workplace lead says "Time to start talking about race" at work, even if it causes discomfort

"Goldman Sachs' Edith Cooper says its time to start talking about race in the workplace. Here's how she's doing that.", 19 Oct. 2016

Edith Cooper has spent over 20 years at Goldman Sachs, growing from the energy-trading division to become the global head of human capital management... That makes her recent discussion about race in the workplace even more powerful... 

Fortune 500 companies, led by the likes of Goldman Sachs and others like Morgan Stanley, Accenture and Nike, are opening up difficult conversations about race, culture and belonging... Following the tragic shootings in Baton Rouge, Minneapolis and Dallas, CEO and Chairman Lloyd Blankfein held an open panel with senior black leaders at the bank to discuss their personal and professional experiences.
