How do we, as managers, foster a healthy, inclusive work environment so all employees can succeed? Individuals with diverse backgrounds and uniqueness are subjected to subtle and overt bias in the workplace due to the divisive climate in which we live. Many of us have been a part of the process and on either end of the bias whether we know it or not. There isn’t a quick manual on how to identify and effectively address bias within the information profession nor in the workplace. This three part online learning series will help managers and staff identify different types of bias challenges. Attendees will develop strategies and solutions to foster an inclusive work environment through highly interactive real world scenarios in considering: what would you do?
