Uncovering the Impact of Unconscious Bias on Business Results
Bias has been misunderstood for years. Due to recent research in the area of the neuroscience of bias and its impact on decision making, we now know that everyone has a bias. Furthermore, our biases inevitably impact our daily decisions without our awareness. The good news is once we become aware of the impact of our biases, we can choose to disrupt those biases that produce adverse outcomes.
Internationally recognized author and Hall-of-Fame speaker, Lenora Billings-Harris, examines and helps you re-frame your approach to diversity, inclusion, and employee engagement. Lenora’s course uses an evidence-based approach that provides practical yet cutting edge insights that can be immediately applied. You will explore what bias is, why it is necessary for our lives, and how unconscious bias impacts productivity, team performance, and bottom-line business results.
Lenora reveals the interdependence of these concepts and the missing components needed to create an environment that supports the diversity of thought. This content-rich course will help you identify the essential skills that accelerate positive results in our fast-paced multicultural world.
