Gremlins in the Attic: Uncovering Unconscious Bias
We know that diversity efforts in our workplace help us to increase our talent pools and retention. What we may not know though, is that unconscious bias may be lurking underneath, undermining all the good the organization is trying to do. Unconscious bias, or an unfair act or policy stemming from hidden prejudice, costs organizations innumerable amounts of lost business, employee turnover, and litigation. The good news is that behavior change, rational thinking, and productive dialogue however, can defeat almost all bias. This session will provide a background on the theory of unconscious bias, explore how this theory applies to people processes in organizations and, present several strategies for reducing unconscious bias in the workplace.
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
Define the term unconscious bias.
Diagnose the characteristics and behaviors of unconscious, subtle and disguised bias.
Implement strategies for increasing awareness of and mitigating unconscious bias.
