Breaking the Bias: Strategies for Improving Career Opportunities in the Workplace
Unconscious bias involves ingrained biases or prejudices that unknowingly affect our understanding, actions, and decisions. They stem from various factors such as personal experiences, cultural upbringing, media influences, and societal norms. These biases can negatively impact our well-being, performance, and relationships at work, especially when they concern aspects as gender, ethnicity, age, disability, or sexual orientation.The uprise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a dual role in this context. It can inadvertently reinforce biases through its programming, but it also offers tools to detect and mitigate these biases. This workshop focuses on recognizing unconscious biases and how to deal with them in the workplace.
