IS DEI DEAD, OR DOES IT JUST NEED TO EVOLVE?
Inc.
|September 2024
In the face of corporate backtracking, Praxis Labs is using AI to foster inclusivity.
A well-meaning man at work consistently talks over women in meetings. A few women have filed complaints about the employee, and you, the manager, are tasked with giving him feedback. But you are dreading the conversation. It will likely be uncomfortable, and it's unclear how he might react. What do you do?
Praxis Labs is here to help, with a healthy assist from generative AI. The Los Angelesbased company, founded by Elise Smith, 33, and Heather Shen, 27, creates simulated environments for managers to practice giving feedback in delicate situations. The module coaches them and asks them to try again if they don't get their point across sufficiently.
