Overview:
Have you ever heard yourself say?
These are everyday examples of unconscious bias. Whether recruiting in our image or making judgements based on our perceptions or previous experience, we are withholding opportunities for all by letting our biases make our decisions for us.
Unconscious bias is increasingly being brought into discussions around equality and inclusion in the workplace. It can impact everything from recruitment and attraction to opportunity, promotion and retention and can have a detrimental effect on diversity within an organizations.
Why you should Attend:
Understanding bias in the workplace is the first step to managing it. This webinar defines unconscious bias, describes how it affects the workplace, and encourages learners to use that knowledge to reduce the negative effects of bias.
Unconscious bias may lead to certain groups being treated less favorably or discriminated against. This webinar will provide tips on how to avoid bias in the workplace.
