Dismantling Stereotypes: How to Cultivate Empathy and Inclusion via Technology
Stereotypes exist to help us operate in a fast-paced world. They can indeed fill gaps between the information we receive while simultaneously creating a narrative that we then believe to be true, yet they also result in prejudices based on one's gender, race, ethnicity, religion, level of education, etc. Employees can feel the negative effects of stereotypes when it comes to the recruitment or promotion process as well as during the decision-making one inside the team. Sometimes employees, experiencing stereotypes and unconscious biases, see a decrease in their performance and motivation. The good thing is that it is absolutely possible to create an environment free of stereotypes and prejudice.
Our speakers are going to talk more about the following topics:
- How to attract and retain diverse and highly skilled talent by creating a truly inclusive workplace for all colleagues
