Unconscious Bias (English)

Research shows that with the right leadership and support, diverse teams within an inclusive work environment are more successful – especially when it comes to transforming creative ideas into real innovations. For this reason, it is now the stated goal of many companies to offer their employees such an environment. In this seminar, we offer participants a safe space to critically and constructively explore their own (unconscious) cognitive patterns and experiences, while at the same time helping sensitize them to the experiences of others. The goal of the seminar is to become more aware of the impacts of possible unconscious bias and preconceived notions in the workplace and foster inclusive behavior in yourself as well as in others.
