UNCONSCIOUS BIAS: HOW NEW MANAGERS CAN BE FAIR AND TRANSPARENT
While biases may have immense evolutionary and physiological value, it’s not recognizing biases that can lead to bad decisions at work, it’s when biases are left untethered that they seep into every decision making, group priorities, organization culture, hiring, and management and lead to suboptimal working environments. Companies with diverse and inclusive teams lead to better business decisions. Diversity, of all kinds, is helpful in breaking biased attitudes and in promoting a more balanced way of decision making.
Many organizations and training programs talk about the importance of diversity and inclusion at the workplace. But very few talk about unconscious bias.

This webinar relates to new managers and helps them build strong interpersonal skills, improve decision-making and problem-solving and build rapport in cross-cultural situations, use diplomacy, and build trust in everyday transactions at the workplace.
