Moving Through Bias: Understanding Unconscious Bias in Human Relations

Moving Through Bias: Understanding Unconscious Bias in Human Relations

Wednesday, April 5, 2017  5:30 pm Holiday Inn, Norwich

We all are biased . . . and with good reason! It’s part of being human! Not all of us are aware of our unconscious biases, however, and this may be where we need to begin in promoting understanding and acceptance. Current human conditions and experiences suggest that even after all our efforts in understanding diversity and human rights, we have a long way to go.

Following a brief presentation on what bias is, we will talk with each other in a “Chicago Dinner” style format about how our biases may affect one human resources activity: the employment interview. Chicago Dinners are a community-building concept built on the idea that people can come to the table, share dinner and discuss important and relevant topics in a safe and supported environment.

Learning Points:

Define bias and why it is essential

Learn how the brain processes bias

Identify unconscious bias

Find ways to reprogram your thinking

Featured Speaker:
