Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC San DiegoRecognizing and Reducing Bias Around Lawyers “Flexing”
More attorneys are working in FWA where they may work flexible hours (time of day), reduced hours, or at flexible location(s). Lawyers must learn to manage and navigate flexible work schedules and that is all the more important in the age of working from home during times of conflict and uncertainty. One key to making “flex” work is to bust myths associated with flexible schedules and address the blind spots, stigma, and stereotypes that get in the way of success in legal practice.
During this session, you will learn about:
- Stigma, stereotypes, bias and discrimination against attorneys with FWA, and especially impacts on women, attorney parents • Bias assignments, team interactions, and performance reviews of attorneys with FWA
- Organizational support needed for successful FWA
- Strategies to reduce or eliminate bias in transitions to and from FWA or leaves
- Strategies to reduce or eliminate bias in assignments, team interactions, and reviews of FWA attorneys
