CCDI Webinar: Understanding unconscious bias

Level/Audience: General Audience 1.0

Presentation by: Reneé Bazile-Jones

The term "unconscious bias" has become one of those phrases that people use liberally, but what does it really mean? The reality is that we all have bias – forces that shape our opinions and beliefs, which then in turn inform our behaviour, particularly as it relates to valuing diversity. So, what can you do about it?

This webinar will examine how our perceptions of others are formulated, the entrenchment of bias that may be unconscious and its impact, and finally, how to enhance awareness and reduce the potential for disrespect that bias can engender. 

Please note that registration for the webinar will close at 4 p.m. ET, one business day before the event.
