Description:
Recognizing the role that our words, deeds, and unspoken biases play in establishing the organizational culture can go a long way to creating – or maintaining – a workplace where everyone feels appreciated and respected. We discuss how diversity, equity, and inclusion issues presented themselves to us in 2020, the impact on the workplace, the challenges presented by unconscious bias, and strategies to prevent bias from affecting our decision-making and impairing the organizational culture. Finally, this session will take a look at some of the trends and approaches that have been used to address organizational diversity, equity, and inclusion in order to understand the legal risk areas and aid attendees with developing a pathway forward.
