Course Description

The MicroInequities: Managing Unconscious Bias™ program goes beyond the conventional approaches to managing Unconscious Bias in the workplace. This session does not focus on the ‘warm and fuzzy’ or ‘touchy feely side of this topic. Instead, Insight Education Systems, in its collaboration with M.I.T. has developed meaningful and actionable solutions to actively manage unconscious bias in the workplace—actions that result in meaningful behavior change. It provides the techniques and tools that make people skilled at driving change—not just being aware.

Being smarter about Unconscious Bias isn’t good enough—People must become motivated and skilled. Participants leave the session with the ability to immediately put what they learned into action to improve the quality of their own performance and enhance the ways others can be motivated to perform.

Learning Objectives:
  • Forge systemic acceptance and behavior change that drives the pillars of what defines great leadership.
  • Uncover the ways micromessages impair or enhance workplace performance.
  • Creating a mindset that separates the passive perspective on inclusion (awareness, sensitivity) from the active aspects and benefits (generating higher levels of measurable performance.)
  • Develop skills that change the ways we send messages in order to motivate and inspire performance.
  • Achieve a level of acceptance by senior leaders to embrace the concepts and act as change agents by modeling the prescribed behaviors.
