What can organizations, leaders and individuals do to break the bias and build better workplaces for all?
International Women’s Day 2022 theme was ‘Break the Bias’. For some time we have been aware of conscious and unconscious bias as something that creates barriers, marginalization and disadvantage to women.
Organizations today are increasingly recognizing the need to build better, inclusive, and diverse workplaces for all but to do so, leaders need to develop the right set of skills to create safe and equitable work environments.
Watch our webinar hosted on International Women's Day with Jennifer Morris, an expert in the fields of Diversity, Inclusion, Leadership and Talent Development and Associate Faculty and Louisa Kouzapas, Learning Solutions Director and DEIB at Hult Ashridge to explore how bias infiltrates organizational systems, our thinking and decision making, and our behavior. We will also look at how conscious and intentional action is needed, in order to foster more inclusive working environments.
Key takeaways
In this 60-minutes session we explore:
The ways that bias becomes systematically embedded in organizations
What micro-behavior is and why it is so impactful
What organizations, leaders and individuals can do to break the bias and build better workplaces for all
