People are hardwired to discriminate. We all possess hidden negative prejudices and stereotypes that we often times do not even recognize we have. In this innovative seminar, interactive experiential exercises will be conducted to compare the value we attribute to candidates based simply on viewing their skill sets on paper to the value we attribute after laying eyes on them in an interview. We will examine the concept of "organizational unconscious" and its impact on areas such as recruiting, hiring, performance reviews, promotions and advancement. And you will walk away with five key strategies to mitigate the impact of unconscious bias in decision-making and talent management processes.
