WEBINAR 1: Moving Beyond Implicit Bias in the Workplace

Supporting our goals with intentional decision making

Many organizations are moving to develop Diversity & Inclusion plans. It is possible to have diversity without inclusion, however it is not possible to have inclusion without diversity. When we develop policies and procedures to promote diversity we must acknowledge that unconscious bias exists for us all and impacts our decisions. In this webinar we focus on improving our diversity and inclusion practices by identifying an evidence-based strategy, learning from a case study example, and accessing available resources.

Health Education and outreach staff are often dual role employees who care passionately about the community and the work they do and as a result it is assumed that they know how to do effective outreach and risk reduction education.

WEBINAR 6: Moving Beyond Traditional Accountability

Implementing supervision structures that value inclusion

How does unconscious bias affect staff retention? Unconscious bias develops in all of us, in the ways in which we make sense of connections between different things, feelings, beliefs and values. And this plays out when we are conducting supervision meetings, monitoring job performance, and completing annual performance evaluations with staff. In this webinar we focus on supervision practices to address diversity and inclusion by identifying an evidence-based strategy, learning from a case study example, and accessing available resources.
