Uče nas da vjerujemo u to da će naporan trud i posvećenost nečemu zajamčiti uspjeh, ali to nije uvijek slučaj. "Spolna, rasna, etnička i vjerska pripadnost, invaliditet, seksualno opredjeljenje, sve su to čimbenici koji utječu na naš uspjeh", tvrdi spisateljica i pobornica prava Melinda Epler, "na nama je i da se zauzmemo za one koji su žrtva diskriminacije". U svom govoru koji poziva na akciju, Epler navodi tri načina kojima možemo podržati nedovoljno zastupljene osobe na radnom mjestu. "Ne postoji čarobni štapić za različitosti i inkluziju", kaže Melinda. "Promjena nastupa postupno, zahvaljujući svakoj pojedinačnoj osobi, činu i riječi."

They're not paying attention.

Ne obraćaju pažnju.

As soon as I start to speak,

And I could have used an ally.

Little behaviors and pattern like this,

01:58
At a real low point, I read an article

Pri izmaku snage, pročitala sam članak

02:14
That sounded familiar.
41
122400
1856
Zvučilo je poznato.
02:16
I started to realize
that I wasn't failing.

42
124280
3696
Počela sam shvaćati
da nisam ja ta koja je podbacila.

02:20
The culture around me was failing me.
43
128000
2600
Podbacila je kultura oko mene.
02:23
And I wasn't alone.
44
131920
1536
I nisam bila jedina.
02:25
Behaviors and patterns like this
45
133480
1616
Takvi obrasci i ponašanja
02:27
every day affect underrepresented people
of all backgrounds in the workplace.

na poslu svakodnevno pogađaju nedovoljno
zastupljene ljude iz različitih sredina.
zastupljene ljude iz različitih sredina.
02:31
And that has a real impact
47
139520
3216
A to ima stvarni učinak
02:34
on our colleagues, on our companies
48
142760
2256
na naše kolege, naše tvrtke
02:37
and our collective capacity to innovate.
49
145040
2600
i na našu kolektivnu
sposobnost inovacija.

02:41
So, in the tech industry,
we want quick solutions.

50
149680

Znamo da u industriji tehnologije
želimo brza rješenja.

02:44
But there is no magic wand
for correcting diversity and inclusion.
for correcting diversity and inclusion.
51
152760
4216
No, nema čarobnog štapića za ispravljanje
problema različitosti i uključenosti.
problema različitosti i uključenosti.
02:49
Change happens one person at a time,
52
157000
2136
Promjena nastupa postupno,
nakon svake osobe,
nakon svake osobe,
02:51
one act at a time, one word at a time.
53
159160
3080
svakog čina i svake riječi.
02:55
We make a mistake
when we see diversity and inclusion
when we see diversity and inclusion
54
163240
2976
Griješimo kada problem
različitosti i uključenosti
različitosti i uključenosti
02:58
as that side project over there
the diversity people are working on,
the diversity people are working on,
55
166240
4336
doživljavamo kao neki zasebni projekt
na kojem rade ljudi zaduženi za to,
na kojem rade ljudi zaduženi za to,
03:02
rather than this work inside all of us
that we need to do together.
that we need to do together.
56
170600
3840
a ne kao nešto na čemu svatko od nas,
i svi zajedno, moramo poraditi.
i svi zajedno, moramo poraditi.
03:07
And that work begins
57
175600
1656
A to počinje
03:09
with unlearning what we know
about success and opportunity.
about success and opportunity.
58
177280
3000
tako da odbacimo sve što znamo
o uspjehu i dobrim prilikama.
o uspjehu i dobrim prilikama.
03:13
We've been told our whole lives
59
181400
1936
Cijeli nas život uče
03:15
that if we work hard,
that hard work pays off,
that hard work pays off,
60
183360
2256
da, ako naporno radimo,
taj rad će se isplatiti.
taj rad će se isplatiti.
03:17
we'd get what we deserve,
we'd live our dream.
we'd live our dream.
61
185640
2160
Dobit ćemo što nam pripada,
ostvariti svoj san.
ostvariti svoj san.
03:21
But that isn't true for everyone.
62
189080
2176
No, to ne vrijedi za svakoga.
03:23
Some people have to work 10 times as hard
63
191280
1976
Neki ljudi moraju raditi 10 puta više
03:25
to get to the same place
64
193280
1696
da stignu do istog mjesta,
03:27
due to many barriers
put in front of them by society.

65

zbog brojnih prepreka

Your gender, your race, your ethnicity,

your class, your geography,

all of these can give you more

69
206240
4056
sve vam to može dati
više ili manje prilika za uspjeh.
više ili manje prilika za uspjeh.
03:42
And that's where allyship comes in.
70
210320
2336
I tu stupa na scenu savezništvo.
03:44
Allyship is about understanding
that imbalance in opportunity
that imbalance in opportunity
71
212680
3616
Savezništvo znači da uočavamo
tu neravnotežu u mogućnostima
tu neravnotežu u mogućnostima
03:48
and working to correct it.
72
216320
1360
i trudimo se ispraviti je.
03:50
Allyship is really seeing
the person next to us.
the person next to us.
73
218440
3496
To znači da doista vidimo
osobu pored sebe.
osobu pored sebe.
03:53
And the person missing,
who should be standing next to us.
who should be standing next to us.
74
221960
3496
I osobu koje nema,
a koja bi trebala tu biti.
a koja bi trebala tu biti.
03:57
And first, just knowing
what they're going through.
what they're going through.
75
225480
2696
I prije svega, treba razumjeti
što ona proživljava.
što ona proživljava.
04:00
And then, helping them succeed
and thrive with us.
and thrive with us.
76
228200
3640
A zatim joj pomoći da uspije
i napreduje zajedno s nama.
i napreduje zajedno s nama.
04:05
When we work together to develop
more diverse and inclusive teams,

Kada radimo zajedno na razvoju
različitijih i integriranijih timova,

04:08
data shows we will be more innovative,
more productive and more profitable.

78
236840
3920
podaci pokazuju da smo inovativniji,
produktivniji i profitabilniji.
produktivniji i profitabilniji.
04:13
So, who is an ally?
79
241680
1296
Dakle, tko je saveznik?
04:15
All of us.
80
243000
1216
Svi mi.
04:16
We can all be allies for each other.
81
244240
1696
Svi međusobno možemo biti saveznici.
04:17
As a white, cisgendered woman
in the United States,
in the United States,
82
245960
2496
Kao bjeloputa, cisrodna žena u SAD-u,
04:20
there are many ways I'm very privileged.
83
248480
2016
u mnogočemu sam povlaštena.
04:22
And some ways I'm not.
84
250520
2096
A u nečemu i nisam.
04:24
And I work hard every day
85
252640
1256
I svaki se dan trudim
04:25
to be an ally for people
with less privilege than me.
with less privilege than me.
86
253920
2736
biti saveznik ljudima
u manje povlaštenom položaju.
u manje povlaštenom položaju.
04:28
And I still need allies, too.
87
256680
1520
A i ja trebam saveznike.
04:32
In the tech industry,
like in many industries,
like in many industries,
88
260240
3216
U tehnološkoj industriji,
kao i u drugim industrijama,
kao i u drugim industrijama,
04:35
there are many people
who are underrepresented,

89
263480
2176
mnogo je nedovoljno zastupljenih ljudi,

265680
1920
suočenih s preprekama
ili diskriminacijom.

04:40
Women, people who are nonbinary --
91
268320
2056
Žene, transrodne osobe --

so people who don't necessarily
identify as man or woman --

tj. osobe koje se ne poistovjećuju

278560
2176
svi stariji od 35 godina.
04:52
(Laughter)
96
280760

(Smijeh)
04:57
We have a major bias toward youth
in the tech industry.

285040
3456
U tehnološkoj industriji postoji
velika pristranost oko mladih ljudi.

05:00
And many others.
98
288520
1216
I oko brojnih drugih.
05:01
There is always someone
with less privilege than you.

Uvijek postoji netko tko je
u nepovoljnijem položaju od vas.

On this stage, in this room.

Zato ljudi mogu biti saveznici
iz različitih razloga.

05:12
So, people are allies
for different reasons.

102
300440
2496
05:14
Find your reason.
103
302960
1456
Pronađite svoj razlog.
05:16
It could be for the business case,
104
304440
1656
Možete imati poslovni razlog,
05:18
because data shows
diverse and inclusive teams

105
306120
2656
jer iz podataka proizlazi da su
raznoliki i uključivi timovi

05:20
will be more productive,
more profitable and more innovative.

05:24
It could be for fairness

107
312360
3336
Možete to činiti radi pravednosti
i društvene pravde.

05:27
Because we have a long history

that we need to work on together.
109
319720

05:35
Or it could be for your kids,
110
323640

Ili radi svoje djece,
05:37
so your kids grow up
with equal opportunities.

kako bi odrasla s jednakim mogućnostima.

And they grow up creating

05:44
Find your reason.
113

Pronađite svoj razlog.
05:46
For me, it's all three.

There are millions of people out there,
like me, right now, feeling that way.
