Description: In today’s rapidly evolving workplace landscape, employers and employees alike face complex challenges tied to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. This new and insightful class provides a comprehensive overview of equal employment opportunity laws and their intersection with DEI strategies. You will gain a clear understanding of the definitions of "diversity," "equity," and "inclusion," exploring their interconnectedness and how employers commonly leverage these concepts to attract and retain top talent.
The class critically analyzes why certain DEI approaches often fail to foster positive workplace cultures and retain top performers. Particular focus is placed on the legal risks associated with initiatives targeting racial equity, shedding light on potential compliance pitfalls and litigation risks.
Finally, the class introduces proven, legally sound methods for improving workplace cultures, providing attorneys with practical insights to guide clients or organizations in implementing effective, sustainable, and inclusive practices.
