Seminar Description:

Stop Bias and Discriminatory Practices!

• An interviewer asks different questions of different candidates depending on their race/ethnicity, age, and gender.
• A Police Chief invites a male worker to attend a sporting event while ignoring a female worker who’s sitting right there.
• A Police Executive offers defensive tactics training to five male Police Officers and ignores his only female Officers request even though she is more than qualified.

These may seem like minor issues, but they can add up to create a pervasive (and possibly illegal) culture of bias. But if unconscious bias is, by definition, unconscious, how can HR recognize and correct it?
