Just being aware of bias is not enough to make change happen. We can’t make bias stop in the moment, but we can create decision making processes that will help prevent bias from affecting HOW we make decisions. This workshop is not an introduction to the concept of bias. Sign up if you are already familiar with the definition and types of bias; we’ll dive straight into frameworks and tools that you can apply immediately to your decision-making practices at work. Register here for one of two workshop dates.
Workplace Learning & Development’s Leadership Academy will be offering summer and fall sessions of the popular Foundations of Supervision for new managers, and a fall session of the Essentials of Management for experienced managers and supervisors at the University.
