This conference explores unconscious bias and the subtle ways it influences everyday decisions in the workplace.
By grounding the topic in cognitive science, it clarifies what unconscious bias is (and what it is not) helping participants understand that bias is a natural mental shortcut rather than a question of intent or personal values.
Participants are guided through the most common workplace biases, including affinity bias, confirmation bias, halo and horns effects, and attribution bias. The session highlights where these biases typically surface across key moments such as recruitment, performance evaluations, promotions, and access to stretch assignments, making the content immediately relatable and actionable.
The conference concludes with practical strategies to interrupt bias at both individual and organizational levels. Through concrete tools, participants are encouraged to reflect on their own decision-making patterns and to identify systemic levers that can help create fairer, more inclusive workplaces.
