Course description
Tackling Bias and Creating Inclusion Overview
Actively tackling bias in the workplace helps build better organizations… and better people. If you want to unleash the true potential of your workforce, it’s important to create an environment in which diverse perspectives, contributions, and talents can flourish – where everyone feels valued and visible.
Creating this kind of culture requires courage, tenacity, and commitment. A critical first step involves surfacing and dismantling unconscious biases that skew decision making and cloud objectivity. Value must be put on diversity – ensuring your workforce includes a range of ages, ethnicities, religions, and worldviews. But a focus on diversity alone is not enough; you need to ensure that core values of equity and inclusion infuse your culture, systems, and practices. In an equitable workplace, employees don’t just have “a seat at the table;” their voices are welcomed, respected, and valued.
This workshop is designed to build knowledge around key diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) concepts to catalyze awareness and positive change.
