Program Information

Each of us has a unique identity that is shaped by history, socialization and culture. Workplaces that acknowledge individuals’ unique identities cultivate inclusion and a sense of belonging that allows all to be their authentic self. Individuals who can be their authentic selves are more productive, have higher levels of trust, and contribute to organizational success. Addressing unconscious bias takes training, practice and a conscious effort. A corporation is only as good as its culture.
