About the Program
Description
When we bring ourselves to work every day, we bring much more than our skills, our passions, and our ambitions. Whether we know they exist or not, biases join us in every space we find ourselves, including the workplace. Bias is not always bad. However, when we unconsciously allow our biases to taint our interactions and our decision-making processes, the consequences can be detrimental.
Objectives
By the end of this session, you will have:
- Developed an understanding of unconscious bias and some of the different kinds that may impact workplaces
- Examined your own unconscious biases and explored the ways in which everyone harbors unconscious bias
- Gained tools and practices to recognize, surface, and address unconscious bias in your workplace
