Overview
The changing industrial world requires organizations to evolve so they can meet the needs of customers globally. We must be aware of our unconscious biases and ensure they are not causing us to make decisions or take actions that are not in the best interest of the diverse stakeholders – employees, customers and communities – that we serve. This workshop will help raise awareness to ensure unconscious bias is minimized at the workplace.
Why Unconscious Bias training?
Now more than ever companies need to engage actively to move from pledge to action in this space of inclusion. Studies show that companies who sponsor and invest in diversity and inclusion experience increased profitability, sustainability and competitive advantage. Recent breakthroughs in neuro and cognitive sciences have affirmed that most of our behavior relative to diversity and inclusion does not happen because of conscious or willful attempts to harm anybody, but rather because we engage in behavior of which we are unaware. Research shows that bias is a normal function of the human mind. It is something to which we are all susceptible. We all have blind spots that show up as bias toward other people.
