Thursday, November 5, 2020 | Noon to 1:00 pm
Does your organization have an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) Policy? What are “modern” ED&I practices? What legal issues arise as organizations assess, implement and/or evolve their ED&I practices, and how do you minimize legal risks? Even if you don’t practice employment law, being well-informed of these hot-topic issues will help you steer your organization into making good choices.
Our speakers will explain the legal context and share tips on how to identify best practices and legal risks that may arise in your organization. You will obtain practical guidance (or identify when to seek expert advice) on issues such as the scope of an ED&I policy; the privacy challenges that arise when collecting ED&I data; addressing allegations of micro-aggressions; participating as a member of an internal “ED&I Council”, and fielding colleagues ED&I challenges shared “in confidence”.
