The San Francisco Chapter of the Berkeley Haas Alumni Network presents a workshop on Unconscious Bias.
Join Elida Bautista, Director of Inclusion and Diversity at Berkeley-Haas, as she leads a workshop on identifying potential biases and fostering a diverse workplace culture. Elida will speak to the importance of strengthening the sense of belonging and inclusion of underrepresented and marginalized communities while also recognizing the disconnect between the value placed on such ideals and inequalities observed in reality. The workshop will focus on the following areas:
1. Identifying implicit biases
2. Becoming equipped to have constructive conversations when related concerns are raised
3. Learning best practices to create and promote a more diverse and inclusive culture
Important Note: All attendees will be required to complete a brief online learning experience prior to the in-person workshop. The content of this assessment will be reviewed during the August 22nd session. After registering, attendees will be emailed a link to the online learning experience.
