Talking About Race at Work: Workshop | Washington, D.C.

About this event

We live in a very segregated society, so much so that often the workplace is the first environment where some people interact and collaborate on a daily basis with people of other races. As a result, racial issues often arise at work, and if left unaddressed, can lead to conflict, turnover, and even litigation. In this workshop, racial equity experts, Karen Fleshman, Esq., Dr. Verenice Guttierez and Dr. Dionne Poulton will engage attendees in a highly interactive and authentic discussion on how to talk about race in the workplace. Key concepts such as implicit bias, self-advocacy, and conflict resolution will be explored.
