Managing Unconscious Bias
Through Messaging and Inclusion
from 9:00AM to 11:00AM PDT
Tickets: $255.00 per person
Platform: Zoom
Overview
While understanding Unconscious Bias is important, it is only the first step to creating an inclusive environment that fosters belonging and inclusion and that comes from inviting diversity. In this session, we will not only look at what Unconscious Bias is but how it can manifest itself in the workplace in many ways. This program is aimed at raising our awareness to the thousands of messages we send every day that can either value or devalue an individual. While small, these messages can have a macro impact on overall morale and productivity.
In this highly interactive session, learners will experience first-hand the negative impact of micro-messaging and we will discuss specific actions that can create allyship. We will look at ways to minimize the negative impact of these micro-behaviors and foster an environment where everyone’s voices are heard.
