Through this talk, with real-world examples, you will unpack the subtle biases that influence both everyday life and workplace dynamics. From how we visualise people with specific jobs to policies and commercial decisions in the workplace, we'll navigate the consequences of unconscious bias and micro-aggressions by engaging in interactive exercises to dismantle pre-conceived notions.
This talk isn't just about awareness; it's a practical guide with actionable tools to address and diminish the impact of biases. By exploring how conscious inclusion benefits both companies (better financial returns, more innovating and attracting talent) and individuals, you’ll have all the tools necessary to foster psychological safety.
Don't miss this opportunity to be part of the change—creating a workplace where diversity is celebrated, and everyone contributes to success. Be ready to challenge biases, embrace inclusion, and propel your company towards a brighter and more innovative future.
