Why Diversity Matters and Understanding Unconscious Bias, presented by Deborah Biddle
Gain a foundational understanding on the importance of diversity and inclusion in conjunction with the core values and behavior standards. This workshop creates a common language and gives participants an overview of diversity and inclusion using scenario analysis and discussion along with interactive knowledge checks to gauge understanding. Participants also explore unconscious bias and how it impacts business environments and work relationships, discover how their own values, culture and experiences effect interactions with colleagues, attitudes about work, and understanding of workplace values.
