Implicit Bias Mitigation Workshop

This interactive online workshop for leaders will discuss how organizations can address implicit bias using a three-step model: assessment, awareness, and taking action. Rev. Dr. Bryant T. Marks, Sr., will build on the content presented in The Hidden Biases of Good People.

Implicit Bias Mitigation will cover:

1. Homework assignments from The Hidden Biases of Good People
2. Review and discussion of implicit bias in the employee life cycle: hiring, talent development, promotion, and exit
3. Three-step model for addressing implicit bias in organizations: assessment, awareness, taking action
4. The three components of a bias management action plan: transparency, objective standards, and accountability
   1. The potential impact of implicit bias on performance evaluations, team dynamics, and decision making in the workplace
5. Small working group discussions regarding potential implementation of several practices/policies that are expected to reduce bias at the personal and organizational levels. This dialogue will include:
   1. Identifying recommendations that are already being implemented as well as the challenges, lessons learned, and impact of each implemented recommendation
   2. Selecting 2-3 new recommendations that can be implemented in the short-term
   3. Identifying challenges and solutions to implementing the new 2-3 recommendations
   4. Creating a list of concrete next steps toward implementation of recommendations
6. An overview of follow-up activities and materials that will reinforce workshop information and increase the likelihood of long-term impact
