Silver Spring, Md. (PRWEB) October 13, 2016 -- Leadership from Cook Ross Inc., a certified woman-owned consulting firm that specializes in organizational cultural development, will celebrate their new office space today with a panel discussion entitled “Unconscious Bias: Looking Back and Into the Future of our Workplaces and World,” followed by a cocktail reception.
Kojo Nnamdi, host of WAMU’s The Kojo Nnamdi Show, will moderate the panel featuring Cook Ross leaders as they discuss what they've learned over the past 27 years about: diversity and inclusion - specifically Unconscious Bias over the last 15 years - and what's next when it comes to biases in the workplace and our communities. Nnamdi and the panelists will dive in to the many aspects of life impacted by Unconscious Bias and share mitigation best practices. The Cook Ross panelists include Howard J. Ross, founding partner; Leslie Traub, partner and chairperson; and Rosalyn Taylor O’Neale, principal consultant.
“Bias is so prevalent in our day-to-day lives and present in our minds that we do not often realize the impact it has in the workplace and the community,” said Howard J. Ross, founding partner, Cook Ross. “I look forward to exploring the psychology behind bias and what we have learned in our nearly three decades in business, as well as celebrating our new office space with the entire Cook Ross family.”
