Fair Treatment of Women in the Workplace: Strategies that Work—with Harvard Kennedy School Researcher Siri Chilazi
Event is Co-Presented by the Harvard Club of Silicon Valley, the Harvard Club of San Francisco, and the HBS Alumni Association of Northern CA.
How do we create a fair workplace? To make organizations more fair, many well-meaning individuals and companies have invested their time and resources in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. But because unfairness is built into the structures, processes, and environments of our workplaces, adding these programs has not been able to move the needle enough. In this talk, Kennedy School researcher Siri Chilazi, coauthor of the forthcoming book Make Work Fair: Data-Driven Design for Real Results (Harper Business; January 28, 2025), presents a new, evidence-based paradigm for how to create fair workplaces that offer a level playing field for everyone. Through data-backed, actionable solutions that embed fairness into the very fabric of the workplace, we will discover how employees at all levels can make fairer—and simply better—everyday decisions regardless of their role, seniority, responsibilities, or where they are in the world.
Many of you know Siri, from her involvement in the HAA—now you can learn about her fascinating research and have an opportunity to get her advice on the challenges in your own organizations.
