Event Description

Have you ever heard something at work and thought that kind of sounds racist, but what should I do about it? You are not alone. It has never been more important for employers to address unconscious bias in their workforce. Studies show that doing so will improve productivity, aid staff mental health and positively impact organizational morale. Mission Capital would like to invite you to join us for a 3-week Implicit Bias in the Workplace workshop, consisting of both individual and group work. We will define implicit bias and identify strategies to mitigate implicit bias in organizations.

During Training, you will:

Distinguish the difference between explicit and implicit bias and its impacts on organizations.
Identify strategies to intervene and address implicit bias in organizations,
Understand how the concept of race has been applied throughout history to create inequities that are maintained today.

Call to Action:

Implicit bias in the workplace is a unique and undiscussed part of operating in an increasingly integrated world. Not only does implicit and explicit bias affect employee retention and team collaboration, but the mental health of those in your organization who identify with the global majority. This workshop is an opportunity to step away from the role of bystander and become a knowledgeable and respectful advocate for diversity! Register now to secure your spot!

Who’s Invited:

Board Members
Community organizers
Volunteer Coordinators
HR personnel
Non-profit CEO’s and Executive Leadership
