Sessions

Recognizing unconscious bias and reducing its impact will improve all phases of talent management—from recruiting candidates, to assessing and promoting leaders. Growing research shows that bias impedes merit-based talent systems; as Francesca Gino, Harvard Business School professor, says, “Biases cause us to make decisions in favor of one person or group to the detriment of others...which leads some of the best people managers to not recognize some of the talents, skills, and abilities of diverse employees.” This interactive session will deliver proven solutions to transform the effectiveness of talent management/development systems. 

Learning Objectives: 

• Define where in your talent life cycle implicit bias may have its greatest impact, for example; talent acquisition, employment assessment, training and development, performance management, and succession planning. 

• Learn to use a practical tool to reduce the impact of unconscious bias in the performance appraisal process. 

• Discover how to use Systemic Dialogue to identify breakthrough solutions to talent life-cycle management challenges.
