Career webinar: Defeating Unconscious Bias - 5 Strategies
2022-07-15 10:00 - 11:30 | Zoom
Let’s face it, everybody has some unconscious bias. This is not in the context of talking about a preference for Mexican food or an inclination toward the color blue. The focus here is on those inflexible beliefs about whole categories of people that keep us from seeing others accurately, from making fair and appropriate decisions, and from building the kind of harmonious relationships that make our lives more successful.
In Defeating Unconscious Bias: 5 Strategies, Jan Goodman, the Community Outreach Specialist for the Greater Raritan One-Stop Career Center, will address the hidden biases that can affect us all, and offer five simple, actionable and memorable strategies to enhance workplace productivity and innovation.
This virtual workshop, running from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Friday, July 15, is offered in collaboration with the PSG (Professional Service Group) of
Mercer County; PSG is a networking program for professional job seekers in transition.
