Silence about things that matter to us impairs fostering an inclusive work environment. Yet conversations about sensitive subjects can become divisive and polarizing, and can even be perceived as creating a hostile environment or revealing a discriminatory animus. This program will discuss legal boundaries and explore approaches to effectively handling open dialogue regarding race, gender, gender identity, religion, bias, equity and social justice allyship.
