This training satisfies the federal grant requirements for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Training. The Dibble Institute® is offering this workshop because for us to create healthy relationships, we need to understand our hidden biases so that we might reduce and manage them. Broadly speaking, group-based bias involves varying degrees of stereotyping (exaggerated beliefs about others), prejudice (dis/liking others), and/or discrimination (unequal treatment of others) that occur above or below conscious awareness. Scholars have labeled the subconscious form of group-based bias as implicit bias. In this provocative and highly interactive presentation, Dr. Marks will describe the science behind the causes and consequences of implicit bias and its impact on individuals and organizational outcomes. Dr. Marks will also offer practical strategies for identifying, managing, and potentially mitigating implicit bias.This is the second workshop in an annual series of DEI trainings. You do not need to have attended the first workshop to attend the second.
Objectives — Participants will:
- Understand the science behind implicit bias
- Recognize the impact of implicit bias on individuals and organizations
- Identify personal and organizational implicit biases
- Develop strategies to manage and reduce implicit bias
- Foster a culture of inclusivity and fairness
