Systemic bias is not something a single individual can take on. Together in this full day workshop, we’ll help your organization form practices that address problematic behavior in the workplace.
Sound like something you need? Let’s talk.
The day was honestly a treat. I got to know and learned from some truly amazing women who shared my same goal: to be able to do the job that I love in a supportive environment. I left the day feeling energized and excited to better advocate for myself and my work.
Organizations and teams interested in reducing the impact of gender bias, creating a more inclusive work culture, and improving collaboration.
Gender bias in the workplace is a known problem. Traditional corporate training treats it as though more information is all people need. Evidence shows this approach does not work. Systemic bias is a problem of habit—how people behave, not what they know. And that makes it trickier to change.
The framework we use is grounded in years of problem-solving within a variety of organizational contexts. Changing behavior is possible when you first identify the underlying incentives and rewards.
Together, in this full day workshop, we’ll explore ways to change the behaviors that create obstacles to women’s professional development. And we will do this without requiring extra effort from those who are most affected.
