What they don’t tell you about unconscious bias in the workplace

Online event
Tuesday, 09 July 2024
2:00 pm – 3:00 pm (UK time)
    • Buki Mosaku, 'The Bias Navigation Expert’ - Consultant, Speaker & Author of “I Don’t Understand”- Navigating Unconscious Bias In The Workplace
  • Inclusion & Diversity

In this IIL inclusion and diversity webinar, Buki Mosaku cracks the code for calling out unconscious bias in the workplace and equips staff, people managers and leaders with toolkits, skills and strategies that show them: what to do, how to think, what to say, when to say it and the way to say it, so that we can organically fast track increases in representation of minorities/marginalised groups in senior and high profile roles and put career-stifling and conflict-generating bias behind us once and for all.

What if you could call out career-stifling unconscious bias in the moment and recondition the perpetrator without being seen as hostile, a non-team player, bigoted, having a chip on your shoulder, or projecting your own bias?

How can you address career-stifling and conflict-generating bias that comes from your boss, staff, or colleagues without losing your composure? Drawing on knowledge and insight gained over two decades of closely observing human behaviour in insurance and different corporate settings as a communication and workplace bias expert, Buki provides a proven, practical toolkit for navigating all forms of workplace bias - whether related to race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, sex, and so on—through his ground-breaking IDU methodology. Its tools empower minorities, marginalised groups, and the majority to effortlessly dismantle bias whenever they sense it, without inciting unwanted results.

Learning objectives:

  • Describe what unconscious workplace bias is and looks like
  • Explain how to call out and navigate sensed microaggressions while reconditioning unconscious perpetrators in the moment
  • Outline how to call out and navigate sensed career-stifling workplace bias
  • Summarise how to build an environment of psychological safety and fast-track equitable representation in senior roles
