Reducing Bias in Decision Making
In this workshop, you will learn about unconscious bias and its impact on workplace relationships and decision-making. Research demonstrates that individuals who are highly aware of their decision-making process can see how unconscious bias influences their thinking. This awareness opens their mind to a broader set of choices and improves their ability to reach their intended outcomes. You will come to understand the unconscious influences that are limiting the scope of your decision-making. You will learn and practice techniques to reduce bias and help you make better choices.
Learning Objectives
- · Learn how priming bias works.
- · See how bias can affect their choices at work.
- · Conduct a personal social network analysis.
- · Develop new practices and skills to minimize bias in business decisions.
