Overcoming Unconscious Bias: Fostering Conscious Inclusion at Work

Overcoming Unconscious Bias: Fostering Conscious Inclusion at Work

Thursday, 28th January 2021 | Online Event

Conversations around diversity and inclusive behaviours have changed radically over the past months and years, altering business agendas as well as consumer and staff expectations as a result. Organisations must get serious about advancing positive change if they are to attract the best talent, ensure that their staff can achieve their potential and protect their reputations for good business practice.

With this in mind, Dods D&I are offering a practical, immersive and comprehensive training day, to enable you to ensure that inclusion is consciously fostered and unconscious bias is overcome in your organisation.

Join us for our ‘Overcoming Unconscious Bias: Fostering Conscious Inclusion at Work’ event, where expert speakers will guide you in how to tackle instances of unconscious bias at work and how to train staff to recognise where bias might occur. You will come away with the tools and knowledge you need to create the necessary conditions for conscious inclusion in company culture, processes and practice. 

Please note that video recordings of each session will be made available to delegates in the days following the event. 

Why attend? 

  • Learn how to address unconscious bias in your organisational culture and your recruitment and progression practices
  • Bring new, innovative ideas about addressing bias and barriers to diverse employees back to your organisation, with the insight needed to put them into practice 
  • Hear from leading figures in how to adapt workplace policy and practice to enable current and prospective staff to thrive
  • Earn a CPD certificate for your personal progression
  • Receive on-demand video recordings of all sessions, for your reference after the event
