Uncovering unconscious biases

Among the biggest barriers to Inclusion are biases, especially implicit or unconscious biases. These can shape our likes, dislikes and judgments about people’s character, abilities and potential without our conscious control or awareness. In order to create an inclusive workplace, it is important for employees to become aware of their biases and develop ways to better align their behavior with their intentions. As research suggests, first, people must be aware of their biases and, second, they must be concerned about the consequences of their biases before they will be motivated to exert effort to eliminate them. We use this principle in designing our module. Duration – One day.

Working across differences

Today, many organizations are operating in a highly diverse environment. This diversity is reflected in the markets they are catering to, the profile of their workforce, the complex reporting structures across geographies, the demographics of customers, the profile of vendors/suppliers, teams formed after mergers & acquisitions and others. In an organizational environment where people from varied background come together, there are many cultural dynamics at play. These dynamics create challenges at work which often manifest itself in degree of motivation, trust, team work, conflicts, stress etc. Duration – One day.

Taking charge towards gender inclusion

This workshop is for women employees to develop the ability to design, influence and drive change towards greater gender inclusion at an individual, team and organizational level.

The need for building gender inclusion has moved beyond making women feel more engaged and empowered. At the core of gender inclusion are concrete business benefits like greater innovation, increased productivity, reduced attrition, better engagement with customers and clients. However, the challenge faced by many organizations is in moving from intent to concrete strategy and actions. Duration: One day or half a day module.
