The necessity to attract top talent is at an all-time high. Your competitors for profits remain your fiercest competitors for human capital. Until and unless your leadership understands the importance of mental health awareness and, not only recognizing the existence of implicit bias, but developing strategies to move beyond awareness, you simply will not be in position to hire and retain the best. Through the lessons of the wonderfully entertaining and people-centric Ted Lasso, this session will examine how crucial mitigating against implicit bias and paying attention to mental health awareness have become in our goal to become a destination employer. However, it will not stop with simple recognition. Because, after all, would Ted stop at identifying an issue without creating a solution. In that vein, this program also will provide strategies in the context of implicit bias and mental health awareness to ensure that your existing and prospective employees see your organization as the place to be! Come to this session, and ... BELIEVE!

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify sources of implicit bias and provide strategies to mitigate against it in an effort to drive employee retention and recruitment goals.
  • Examine why leaders must embrace organizational mental health awareness and provide tools of how to do so.
  • Develop ways to either change or solidify organizational culture in a way best to provide an emotionally healthy working environment.
