As lawyers and educators, Squire Patton Boggs labor and employment lawyers Carmen Cole and Katharine Liao know that proactive counsel on topics such as Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is essential for avoiding disputes, as well as maintaining a positive and productive culture at work. This CLE program will not only tackle how to effectively identify and address bias in the workplace, from explicit to unconscious biases, but how to work toward solutions in light of the latest research and case law. Our session will do a deep dive on implicit biases, and emphasize the value of diversity, equity and inclusion at the workplace, while at the same time accounting for differences in communication, humor and management style for diverse teams.
This session will explore the key role corporate counsel plays in integrating and embedding ESG within their organization, and how they can prepare for and respond to a growing field of regulations enforcing ESG pillars.
