Details:
As companies strive to become more diverse and inclusive, unconscious bias often arises as part of the conversation. This is because many people’s attitudes and behaviors are based on mental shortcuts and stereotypes that are made without realizing it. Our brains have a natural tendency to make quick decisions based on limited information, and this can ultimately affect who we hire.
Participants will learn:
  • How to recognize some of the most common unconscious biases
  • Practical ways to reduce implicit bias in your hiring process
  • Best practices to make a clear assessment of the candidate’s competencies
  • Why consistency in hiring practices is vital to an inclusive workplace
This webinar is complimentary. Please share with anyone you think might benefit from the learning. Registered attendees will receive an email confirmation with Zoom link prior to the webinar.
