Organizations and staff working to advance EDI require more than just technical knowledge and the will to act. They also must understand the multiple ways in which bias manifests in our daily lives and working relationships in unconscious ways. Building on brain function research and behavioral science, participants will learn about common bias traps, what causes them, and what can work to reduce and/or eliminate them. Through learning, discussion, and interaction, participants will better understand their own biases and how to disrupt them and develop cultural competence in working across differences.

Session Learning Objectives

• How brain function, culture, and society contribute to implicit bias
• Common ways implicit bias is present in the workplace and how mental processes and culture contribute
• Strategies for increasing intercultural awareness as part of their personal EDI journey
• Strategies for disrupting implicit bias in their daily work

About the Series

Successfully leading equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) initiatives in the workplace requires a deep understanding of the common challenges that affect organizational culture, as well as practices that build bridges and create a stronger community. This virtual learning series is designed for staff who are leading their organizations’ EDI efforts and want to grow their understanding and application of key EDI concepts. Participants will be able to better address complex workplace dynamics and craft meaningful strategies for growth.

Take advantage of three unique two-hour webinars on core concepts. They can serve as a foundational learning series for staff who are new to leading EDI initiatives, or as a refresher course for those looking to revamp or relaunch an EDI initiative.
