Identifying and Mitigating Unconscious Bias in the Workplace
Bias is invisible but impactful. Help your team recognize their blind spots and create systems that promote objectivity.
About this session
Workplace bias usually stays hidden until it derails a hiring decision or causes friction in a team meeting, making it difficult to address without triggering defensiveness. This workshop provides a neutral framework for teams to uncover these invisible patterns and agree on specific, systemic changes to ensure more objective decision-making.
Why it works
The process works by externalizing bias into shared scenarios, which prevents individuals from feeling attacked while they analyze how mental shortcuts occur. This collaborative scrutiny leads to collective ownership over the solutions, making it easier to implement new protocols for recruitment, feedback, and project assignments.
What you’ll walk away with
