[Webinar] The Impact of Gender Stereotypes: Tools for a “Gender Smart” Law Firm - October 12th, 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm CDT - JD Supra
The research is clear – gender diversity is linked to greater profits, better decision-making, and is critical to recruiting and retaining the best talent. Law firms intent on getting ahead of the competition are building more diverse organizations that are “Gender Smart” - that not only have both women and men engaged in decision-making at all levels but are also actively uncovering and interrupting the inequities caused by unintentional biases. A “Gender Smart” organization is an inclusive one where gender stereotypes get called out because they negatively impact both men and women.
Attend this forum to explore research findings specific to gender bias and work with colleagues to discuss solutions in order to build a stronger, more competitive firm.
