Description
Our Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace courses are appropriate for all employees. The Unconscious Bias Awareness version offers foundational skills to support an employer’s D&I program, supplemented with additional social context, useful in examining the effects of bias - and modern efforts to reduce harm. These supplements include first-hand accounts personalizing the impact of exclusion, and an overview of social movements that affect the modern workplace. Examples include LGBTQ+ equality, the #MeToo movement, and Civil Rights protests, both historical and contemporary.
Participants will become more adept at navigating cultural and other differences between individuals in the workplace. By improving the quality of personal interactions among people with diverse identities, conflict will be reduced, making the workplace more efficient. This 90-minute course improves recognition of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination, while suggesting strategies to halt those practices in favor of an equitable and inclusive environment for coworkers, clients, and the public. Supplements to the essentials course help participants to grasp the evolving social context that surrounds the notion of equity, and to gain awareness of how behaviors that were previously considered benign may be perceived as biased in a modern workplace.
During this eLearning experience, we’ll discuss how inclusive practices are an essential compliment to diversity in the workplace, and define many exclusive behaviors that can serve as a barrier, including harboring an implicit bias, perpetuating stereotypes, discrimination, and microaggressions. We’ll also recommend useful conversational techniques to address biased statements made in the workplace. Learners are given the opportunity to practice those techniques by using a “conversation simulator” to discourage stereotypical assumptions during conversations with coworkers.
