Shearman & Sterling partner Doreen Lilienfeld (New York-Compensation, Governance & ERISA) participated in Thomson Reuters’ Strength in Numbers: Advancing Collaborative Diversity in the Workforce Summit held on March 14-15, 2018 in New York. Attendees of the program worked together through a series of focused roundtables designed to provide practical solutions that promote cultural inclusion and diverse representation within the U.S. legal community. 

Doreen spoke on a panel on March 15 titled “The Big Win-Win: Exploring Methods in Retaining a Diverse Workforce,” which examined the growing trend where diverse professionals are leaving their employers for more rewarding opportunities and how employers can improve retention of their top workforce talent. The roundtable also encouraged participants to share best practices on the topic and brainstorm strategies around improving overall organizational health.
