Western Carolinas Monthly Meeting: Unconscious Bias and You
When: 9/11/2020
Everyone in the world has bias -- a tendency to believe that some people and ideas are better than others -- which usually results in treating some people unfairly. Often the most problematic type of bias is unconscious -- social stereotypes about certain groups of people that individuals form without being aware of it. It's imperative that individuals and organizations become aware of the common types of bias found at work and learn how to combat them. Why? To ensure all members of the organization have the opportunity to succeed, thus increasing the success of the organization as a whole.
In this session, you will learn:
- The root cause of bias and unconscious bias
- The science of bias
- Four types of bias at work
- Performance bias
- Performance attribution bias
- Competency/likability tradeoff bias
- Maternal bias
- Tools and tips to combat bias at the workplace
As a preview, read "This Type of Bias is Happening at Your Organization Right Now"
