Lear Headquarters Hosts National Tour Promoting Diversity and Inclusion
The Check Your Blind Spots tour bus is equipped with virtual reality and gaming technologies to help people recognize and minimize unconscious bias in their lives. Multimedia scenarios explore topics such as race, bias and harassment through simulated phone calls, in-person conversations and other interactions while conducting typical life activities.
The event at Lear headquarters is just one of more than 100 stops the Check Your Blind Spots tour bus is making across the U.S. at colleges, universities and companies. It is the creation of the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion business commitment made by more than 700 CEOs and presidents, including Lear CEO and President

The Check Your Blind Spots tour bus event kicks off a 25-day global campaign at Lear facilities designed to connect diversity and inclusion efforts across the company.
