Unconscious Bias—the Hidden Root of Harassment and Discrimination

Harassment and discrimination remain persistent challenges in today’s workplaces, despite decades of policies, training, and awareness efforts. These issues not only harm individuals but also erode organizational trust and culture. While overt bias plays a role, unconscious attitudes and behaviors often operate beneath the surface—shaping decisions, interactions, and systems in subtle but powerful ways. Our session will focus on equipping HR professionals and leaders with the insight and tools needed to uncover and address these hidden influences.

During this session, we will explore:
•How unconscious bias manifests in workplace culture and decision-making
•Tangible strategies for identifying and interrupting bias at all levels
•Ways to cultivate a more inclusive and equitable environment for all

This session offers a chance to reflect, connect, and collaborate with others committed to creating safer, more respectful workplaces. Together, we will deepen our understanding of implicit bias and commit to action that drives meaningful, lasting change.
