Learn about the mindsets of bias and how to reframe the discussion of bias, for greater employee engagement
Over 95% underestimate the impact of our biases on our thoughts and behaviors. The average employees will say their coworker needs bias training, not them. So how do we engage everyone without blaming or shaming, and more importantly, move beyond awareness to increased development andchanged behaviors? This session will help you:
• Identify the five developmental mindsets of bias, from least to most effective, and the general strategies to advance from one mindset to another.
• Identify your individual mindset.
• Acquire the tools to move from a less effective to a more effective mindset.
• Explore ways to reframe the issue of bias, for greater buy-in and engagement from your employees.
