Seeing and Confronting Bias in the Workplace

You care about fairness. You want your organization to be diverse. But you see that your organization isn’t as inclusive as you’d like it to be. While implicit bias has gotten much-needed attention recently, it is just one way that bias can show up in your company and thwart your best intentions to be diverse and welcoming. This workshop will help you identify six ways bias can emerge in your workplace, how it undermines innovation and productivity, and what you to mitigate it.
