How To Diffuse the Unconscious Bias That Damages Brands
Claudia Schabel – NAWBO Iowa
May 11th @12pm ET
Organizations have worked for years to help their employees understand the value of a diverse workforce. One of the primary obstacles we face in leveraging workplace diversity is our own unconscious bias. Research suggests that we instinctively place people into categories based on their appearance, educational level, social status, job title and so on. Right or wrong, this helps us order our world and saves us time and effort as we process information about people. However, these stereotypes—or unconscious biases—lead us to make assumptions about others that can affect who is hired, promoted and developed in the workplace. This can ultimately derail your organization’s culture, diversity efforts and brand.
Presentation Main Takeaways:
- Learn the concept of unconscious bias, how it plays out in the workplace, its potential impact on your organization’s brand and how it impacts your ability to attract and retain talent.
