Understanding Bias in the Workplace – October 8 HR Zoom Meeting
“It’s them, not me!” Many employees believe issues of bias are the result of other people, not themselves. The truth is, we ALL HAVE BIAS. The interest in understanding bias has grown over recent years both in the workplace and in matters of social injustice.

The presentation, with a question and answer session, will cover the foundational groundwork discussion on bias; how bias impacts social situations, attitudes, cultures, and emotional reactions; and the impact of bias on co-workers, clients, job performance, and organizational success.
