Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion For Supervisors: Stereotypes and Implicit Bias

This course addresses the profound impact of stereotypes and implicit bias on the workplace. Participants will explore how deeply ingrained stereotypes, based on characteristics such as race, gender, and age, can erode confidence, limit career opportunities, and contribute to a negative work environment. The course delves into the concept of implicit bias, its unconscious nature, and the ways it can lead to unequal opportunities, hinder innovation, reduce employee morale, and undermine efforts to create an inclusive work culture. Strategies for identifying, addressing, and mitigating biases, including diversity training, diverse hiring practices, mentorship programs, objective performance evaluations, and reporting mechanisms, are central to fostering fairness, equity, and inclusion in the workplace.
