Stereotypes have a powerful impact in today's workplace. The challenge for employee advocates is to get judges and juries to understand the deleterious effect of stereotypes and other forms of hidden bias on decision-making. Join NELA in Atlanta, GA for our Fall seminar, Bias 2.0: What Every Employee Advocate Should Know to build your knowledge about how hidden bias impacts decisions in the workplace and in the courtroom. Our experts will examine legal strategies and social science research that will help you to identify implicit bias in the workplace, challenge employment practices and decisions based on unexamined biases and explicit stereotyping, and establish the causal nexus between hidden bias stereotyping and your prima facie case. Additional topics include discovery, overcoming fact-finder bias at jury selection and in trial, the use of experts, successfully crafting remedies that address hidden bias issues, and much more. Details and online registration can be found at http://www.nela.org/fallseminar.
