As individuals, each of us has unconscious biases, and if they remain unchecked, these biases show up in our organizations in our hiring practices, how we promote individuals, policy development and workplace culture. The third webinar in this series will introduce participants to the concept of unconscious bias from an individual and an organizational perspective and will illuminate how these biases become barriers to creating our best organizations in terms of innovation, differentiation and employee engagement. Strategies to change our trajectory as individuals and businesses will be shared.
