Overcoming Hidden Biases that Hinder Our Success

Abstract

By now, most of us know that unconscious biases affect the workplace. These hidden, reflexive preferences shape our world views and can profoundly affect how welcoming and open a workplace is to different people and ideas. These predispositions shape the decisions we make by affecting the way we interpret information and how we interact with others—significantly impacting a whole host of organizational processes from recruitment to retention.  

At the same time, we are experiencing significant shifts in global demographic trends that impact age, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, and LGBTQ employees. There is no doubt that our workplace is becoming more diverse, which increases the potential for more biases.  

Customized bias scenarios (based on your audience) and real-world cases will be discussed. Several individual and organizational strategies to minimize bias will be provided.  

During this interactive presentation, you will learn how to:  

• Identify the different types, causes and impact of bias at work 

• Explore the impact of global demographic trends on diversity and bias 

• Utilize case studies and stories to communicate potential biases 

• Apply individual and organizational strategies to minimize bias
