EDITOR'S NOTE

Dear Readers,

We welcome you to the fifth edition of Humanistiq - The HR Magazine by Team Humanist

We would like to thank the readers for showing keen interest in our previous edition- Leadership in the Modern Era

This January issue of the magazine is centered on the theme- “Workplace Evils” focusing on prejudices, biases, stereotypes, and overall discrimination faced by employees in organizations.

Everyone has experienced unequal treatment at work Discrimination in any form is frequently unreported, which contributes to employees being under-productive and disengaged at work. A toxic culture can lead to very visible poor business performance.

Several employees bear the brunt of toxicity shown by their managers, peers, and others causing unimaginable stress and negatively impacting not only the individuals but also their close network of family and friends. A polarized and disengaged workforce negatively impacts the company's business and its environment.

"If you don't have a lens that's been trained to look at how various forms of discrimination come together, you're unlikely to develop a set of policies that will be as inclusive as they need to be."

-Kimberle Williams Crenshaw

In this issue, we attempt to depict some of these ideas and discuss the impact and consequences of these evils and how organizations can take corrective action.

We hope you enjoy this issue as much as our last. Happy Reading !

Senior Editors, Sreyoshee, Shivangi, and Tavishi
