Event Overview

An inclusive work environment does not just happen, it requires sustained effort. Creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed and accepted is vital to organisational success. Being an inclusive team member means recognising your biases and actively seeking different perspectives to make informed and effective decisions.

Unconscious bias is a term that describes the associations we hold outside our conscious awareness and control. It is influenced by our background, personal experiences, societal stereotypes, and cultural context. It is not just about gender, ethnicity or other visible diversity characteristics – height, body weight, names, and many other things can also trigger unconscious bias. Being aware of it is a crucial skill required to be an inclusive worker within an organisation.

Our guest speaker will be confirmed in the following weeks. Sign up to our newsletter for updates.
