Make Work Fair: Fireside Chat with Siri Chilazi

  • TBD Washington, DC United States (map)

“Harvard scholars Bohnet and Chilazi offer actionable advice for putting principle into practice and transforming good intentions into measurable impact.”

—Melinda French Gates, Philanthropist, Founder of Pivotal, and New York Times bestselling author of The Moment of Lift



Think your workplace is as fair as it gets? Think again. Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Siri Chilazi, co-author of Make Work Fair: Data-Driven Design for Real Results as we dive into the hidden barriers holding organizations (and you) back.

The truth is, it’s not just policies or practices slowing progress—it’s the myths we keep believing about what fairness should look like at work. These misconceptions don’t just stall growth; they trap us in outdated systems that reinforce the status quo.

Don’t get caught in the myth trap. Together, we’ll bust some of the biggest myths standing in the way of real, measurable change, including:

  • Myth: We’re not biased.

  • Myth: Diversity training solves everything.

  • Myth: Meritocracy means the best always rise to the top.

Get ready to challenge what you think you know and walk away with data-driven strategies to create workplaces where fairness isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the norm.
