To Be or Not to Be: Assimilation vs Acculturation in the Workplace
Over the years, one of the most common questions I get after presenting on hashtag#authenticity, hashtag#leadership, and Latina/o hashtag#identity is: When is it enough? (Speaking about having to code-switch at work.)
In this article, I answer this question by discussing the differences between hashtag#assimilation and hashtag#acculturation. The article provides the drawbacks of assimilation and the benefits of acculturation.
