Corporate Leavers - The Cost of Employee Turnover Due to Unfairness
It's Not Our Problem
"I’m a female partner at a law firm, one of very few female partners of color. It’s obvious to me and about every other person, except my fellow partners, who mostly are Caucasian men, that our firm has had problems recruiting and retaining other lawyers of color, especially female lawyers of color. They think that women and people of color just don’t want to be big firm lawyers and this isn’t a problem isolated to our firm.
While it’s true that other firms aren’t doing well in this department either, I’d like our firm to do something about it. How do I get them on-board and how do I make this about more than just women or people of color?"
