The Bar Association of San Francisco reposted this
Sejal Thakkar is one of the most inclusive leaders on the planet. Yesterday, we tag-teamed a presentation for the The Bar Association of San Francisco labor and employment law group titled "If you have a brain, you have bias®" This Percipio Company trademarked belief is a productive starting point for designing bias mitigation strategies that lead to more inclusive workplaces. 🌟 We differentiated between conscious and unconscious bias in labor and employment law 🔍 Delved into the profound effects of implicit bias on decision-making 🤝 Explored how bias impacts relationships with clients and colleagues 🌈 Discussed collective bias mitigation techniques that disrupt stereotypes and dismantle stigmas. It's always a pleasure to partner and collaborate with TrainXtra. Together, we can drive positive change within the practice of law and design a more just world for everyone! Thanks to Aaron Minnis and Evan Ettinghoff for the invitation to present and the team at BASF for running an exceptional seminar. #LegalProfession #ImplicitBias #Diversity #Equity #ProfessionalDevelopment
