Virtual Series: Unconscious Bias: Self-Awareness Leads to Organizational Awareness

Description

Webinar 3: Unconscious Bias: Self-Awareness Leads to Organizational Awareness

As individuals, each of us has unconscious biases, and if they remain unchecked, these biases show up in our organizations in our hiring practices, how we promote individuals, policy development and workplace culture. The third webinar in this series will introduce participants to the concept of unconscious bias from an individual and an organizational perspective and will illuminate how these biases become barriers to creating our best organizations in terms of innovation, differentiation and employee engagement. Strategies to change our trajectory as individuals and businesses will be shared.

Learning outcomes:

• Insight into how unconscious biases are formed
• Vocabulary and definitions around unconscious bias
• The impact of unconscious bias in the workplace
• Strategies to implement increased awareness of unconscious bias and steps to interrupt unconscious bias
