KSB Law provides support in the important area of Unconscious/Implicit Bias & Cultural Awareness in the private and public sectors. The Firm offers services in this area to law firms, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and private and public companies, as well as to local, county, and state governmental entities and agencies.

Unconscious and implicit biases can unknowingly distort the objective evaluation and treatment of those who are different from us. Microaggressions and microinequities can demean and stereotype individuals of historically marginalized groups. Employees at all levels need to appreciate how their backgrounds influence their interactions with each other within the workplace and how their own cultural experiences shapes who they are and how they see the world.

KSB Law offers a thought-provoking and impactful Training Program focused on understanding implicit and unconscious bias and cultural awareness. This Training is critical in the current climate. These topics are highly relevant, particularly in the midst of the #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, and Stop Asian Hate Movements. This Training is recommended for the entire workforce, but is critical for those serving in leadership, managerial, human resources, legal, and compliance roles.
