Our esteemed panelists, from the Bay Area and beyond, will talk through how organizations and law firms can effectively and thoughtfully discuss race, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and disability in the workplace, and why these discussions are essential. Other topics of discussion include methods for identifying toxic work cultures that affect attorneys from underrepresented groups, practical steps leaders can take to build a sense of belonging for attorneys and other professionals in their organizations or law firms, and how effective law firms and in-house diversity committees and upper management are addressing these issues. This discussion will go beyond the typical recommendations for unconscious bias training, and digs to get at the root of the “other” causes that push underrepresented attorneys out of law firms and organizations.
