Diversity at Work: Fortifying Your Inclusion Efforts in the Current Climate
The past few weeks have presented multiple and overlapping hardships for organizations – and their members – as a result of nation-wide protests and civil unrest related to the most recent and alarming rash of deaths of African-Americans at the hands of law enforcement. With the fallout from an-already devastating pandemic’s glaringly disproportionate effects on black and brown communities coupled with these recent tragic events, organizations - including law firms and corporate law departments - throughout America are taking pause. They want to know what more can they do to fortify their pledge to creating diverse and inclusive work environments, how can they help to disrupt the inherent and institutionalized biases that continue to contribute to these experiences, and how they can best respond to, support, and/or protect themselves from both the positive and negative activism that may be affecting their business.
In offering best - and next - practices that are responsive to the current realities of workplace interactions, we will draw upon any lessons learned so far, and provide an overview of some of the business and diversity trends that leaders in the profession should anticipate for 2020 and beyond.
CLE credit is approved in the following states: CA, GA, IL, NV, NY, PA, TN, TX, and WA. Please log on a few minutes before the program to enter your CLE information.
