Code switching is making tactical or strategic personality changes to fit in and/ or advance your career i.e. switching the way you talk, your accent, language, your disposition depending on social or cultural context. I hear similar comments to the above being made by underrepresented groups who find themselves switching between their authentic self and the self they feel is more likely to be accepted in their work environment.
Join Meera Joshi, Head of D&I Committee at Harrison Holgate and Buki Mosaku for an interactive discussion during which we will discuss the development and progression of underrepresented groups career path and the impact of code-switching on corporate life.
