An Exclusive Benefit for DBP Members...

The nature of discrimination today is dramatically different from the overt legal discrimination that existed prior to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Now that diversity is an integral part of business worldwide and laws have been passed against overt bias, intentional discrimination has waned. Yet, stepping boldly into its place, outside of the reach of the law, is unconscious bias. While unconscious biases are successful at hiding themselves from the naked eye, their consequences are far from invisible. In order to remain compliant and competitive, today’s companies must acknowledge and confront existing discrimination.

To learn about the critical steps your company must follow to reveal and confront deeply ingrained organizational structures and personal beliefs that foster discrimination, join Diversity Best Practices and other diversity experts for a powerful web seminar on April 24, 2008.

"An understanding of unconscious bias is an invitation to a new level of engagement about diversity issues.  It requires awareness, introspection, authenticity, humility, and compassion.  And most of all, it requires communication and a willingness to act."
