What is “Unconscious bias in the workplace” training?

In this training, we explore the concept of unconscious bias and how it plays out in the workplace, its impact on your organization’s brand and ability to attract and retain talent.

Why is “Unconscious bias in the workplace” training important?

One of the primary obstacles we face in leveraging workplace diversity is our own unconscious bias. Research suggests that we instinctively place people into categories based on their appearance, educational level, social status, job title, and so on. Right or wrong, this helps us order our world and saves us time and effort as we process information about people. These unconscious biases can affect who is hired, promoted, and developed in the workplace, which can ultimately derail your organization’s culture, diversity efforts and overall productivity.

Testimonial

“I highly recommend the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training services of Schabel Solutions to anyone who has just started doing DEI work or has been doing it for some time. The customized training series I attended focused participants of different organizations on the infrastructure needed to build and sustain meaningful work around DEI. Claudia provided helpful guidance and action steps so that even if you have been doing the work for some time, you walk away knowing more about what you need to do to take your organization to the next level. While this is a long journey for all organizations and attendees start at different places, this series leaves you feeling motivated and more knowledgeable about the work ahead.”

Does DEI training work?
Done well, DEI training functions effectively as a necessary starting point for getting all staff on the same page regarding an organization’s DEI lexicon, where the organization is going from a DEI perspective and the rationale for doing so.
