Impact Session - How to mitigate bias
Date and time
How to mitigate bias and foster a more inclusive work environment - in collaboration with Diversify
About this event
Join our community for the first Impact Session, with an interactive workshop to depict how human beings have intrinsic cognitive biases. These biases lead to societal behaviours that directly impact us, with particular disadvantages for members of underrepresented groups. We will also have work groups to reflect on how we can mitigate implicit biases both at an individual and structural level and on how we can foster a more inclusive and safer work environment for all.
