Product Description
Product Description
The events of 2020, including the widely publicized deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and too many others, along with the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on people of color, elevated the national dialogue on the impact of systemic racism. As workplaces have attempted to address this critical issue while improving diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace generally, there have been steps forward and missteps. From half-hearted DEI initiatives, to quota systems, to conversations that lead to misunderstanding rather than increased awareness and engagement, learning about best practices in DEI and the potential legal pitfalls surrounding such efforts is necessary to ensure sustained, positive, and lawful change in the workplace. Learn about the legal issues surrounding these DEI efforts and how to masterfully advise clients about such initiatives. Hear from both sides of the employment bar about the legal issues to consider when advising in this area. -
