About this event
This session will build off our initial session in exploring unconscious biases. What are they? How do they work? What impact do they have? How can we work to minimize their impact in the workplace?
Unconscious biases often play an insidious role in our everyday workplace interactions. Employing a powerful interactive exercise that will allow us to explore them in greater depth and through a science-based lens, the team at MESH/diversity will facilitate us in deepening our understanding of how unconscious biases can:
- Impact and often warp perceptions
- Drive reactive behaviour
- Damage team culture and morale
- Influence burnout and churn
- Be better recognized, managed and mitigated
