Watch: Disrupting Unconscious Bias in the Workplace
About the Session:
Join Wisdom Labs for an in-depth conversation between Michelle Maldonado, Mindfulness Teacher and founder of Lucenscia and A Bridge to Better, and Parneet Pal, MBBS, MS, Chief Science Officer at Wisdom Labs.
Conversations around Unconscious Bias have grown exponentially in today’s climate, but what steps can we take to understand these impulses and how to navigate them in the workplace? Unconscious biases are defined as “Social stereotypes about certain groups of people that individuals form outside their own conscious awareness.” These biases, left unchecked, impact our thoughts, behaviors, and decisions, creating organizational climates that engender disengagement, sub-optimal performance and division. Knowing this, how can leaders and individuals alike expand their knowledge of these impulses and learn to act in service of their colleagues—rather than this intangible state of mind?
What You Will Learn:
- The science behind biases and how they show up at work
- Navigating microaggressions and privilege related to race, gender, socio-economic status and more
- The role of Mindfulness and Compassion in disrupting biases and building psychological safety
- Practical actions for leaders and individual contributors to build diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplaces
