"Diversity has been much in the news recently, especially with reports of Google and Facebook's slow improvements," said Unitive's CEO & Founder Laura Mather. "We're so happy to discuss the research, suggest different approaches, and share precise steps that will help organizations create more diverse, and ultimately stronger, companies." In an intimate, fireside chat, Laura and Iris will discuss the tools we need to really achieve diversity in new hires and boardrooms, in hiring and promotions, and how those changes will benefit businesses, governments, and the lives of millions. Focusing on research-based solutions, Mather and Bohnet will present multiple strategies that executives can implement now to effect meaningful change in their organizations. From diversity trainings to elaborate voice-masking technologies, a multitude of products have sprung up claiming to disrupt bias and change the ways we build teams. Ye change continues to be slow. Bohnet and Mather will explain, however, that the right behavioral design can enable smart changes that will have big impacts on organizations of all sizes, across sectors. "Fortune 1000 companies have long been committed to investing in change and cultivating fresh ideas," said Professor Iris Bohnet. "I've heard CEOs say that they value diversity but don't know where to start to move the needle. It's time to hone in on what really works and how we can truly achieve a 21st century workforce."
