Challenging Unconscious Bias in the Workplace (.1 credit)

This workshop introduces participants to the concept of unconscious bias and how it functions in the workplace. Negative forms of unconscious bias often manifest as non-inclusive behaviors--verbal and non-verbal slights and insults that are often conveyed out of ignorance or even with good intentions. Participants review common non-inclusive behaviors based on gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, ability, and sexual orientation and their negative effects on productivity, teamwork, employee well-being, and retention. Using interactive scenarios, participants gain greater self-awareness of the harms caused by non-inclusive behaviors and learn how to adopt best practices that create affirming and inclusive workplace cultures.

This workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Paula Ioanide. Students will receive .1 credits for attending this workshop.
