EVENT DETAILS |
Unconscious bias is a normal, omnipresent occurrence & mental shortcut that our brains make in order to process information.
At work, bias manifests as everything from micro-aggressions (e.g. telling an unintentionally offensive joke at the expense of a person/group) to a systematic lack of inclusion (e.g. not providing women & minorities with the same strategic, career-building feedback offered to white men, which keep those groups out of executive roles).
In this event, managers & leaders will learn to spot their own unconscious bias, where it comes from, & how to overcome it in order to ensure their workforce isn't comprised of the best possible talent, with the freedom to give their best every day.
Takeaways
- Identify your own unconscious bias, where it comes from, & how to rewire
- Learn how to support others/stand up for oneself in the face of bias
- Create actionable steps towards inclusion in the office.
