How to Protect Your Company When Privacy and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Intersect

Webinar

Overview

Increasingly, companies and organizations recognize the value of diversity, equity and inclusion programs in their business model and daily practices. Similarly, employers understand the importance of personal privacy and the accompanying rules and restrictions. So how do lawyers advise and assist organizations in balancing these needs when they become a paradox?

We discussed the impacts of privacy on diversity and inclusion initiatives, explored the contrasting approaches between the U.S. and EU, and assessed the challenges of implementing a global program.
