Blind Spots: Unconscious & Implicit Bias in the Workplace

YES, you are guilty of unconscious bias and so am I...but it is treatable. In the current political climate, it's more important than ever to understand our own bias and how it impacts decisions we make in the workplace. Everything from recruiting, promotions, employee development and performance management are each impacted by personal unconscious bias. As human resources professionals, we are the gatekeepers of the company culture, and it is more important than ever to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all employees. This session will provide key actionable steps HR professionals can implement in their departments with key stakeholders to help shift unconscious bias in the workplace.
