Making the Most of Implicit Bias Training
Friday, February 26, 2021

Every person has and faces unconscious bias, which plays a crucial role in how we perceive individual and collective achievements. To better understand ways that we all carry unconscious biases, many organizations in Hawaii’s legal community are offering implicit bias trainings to their employees or are now exploring options to hold additional trainings. Join us for a conversation about strengthening these trainings in order to identify and address the bias itself, and also to create space for the conversations that arise once biases and actions needed to eliminate discriminatory behaviors are recognized.
