Over the last few months, we've all be made aware (or powerfully reminded) of the importance of diversity, inclusion, and racial equity within our organizations and their communities.  The imperative is clear: racial inequity sub-optimizes organizational performance and negatively impacts societal outcomes -- not only for African Americans and other people of color, but for everyone.  But we all have different backgrounds and different world views that shape how we think, what we believe, and how we behave and make decisions.  So how can we better understand these unconscious biases, helping us to make better decisions and be more inclusive?

The Performance Excellence Network  is pleased to host an online webinar discussion on Thursday, November 12: “Understanding, Identifying & Mitigating Unconscious Bias.”  The discussion will be facilitated by Dr. Sandra Ogunremi, Manager of Spiritual Care Services, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Monument Health in Rapid City.  Note that the webinar will be 9:00-10:00 AM CT (an hour later than PEN's normal time), due to the timezone difference with Dr. Ogunremi.

In her talk, Dr. Ogunremi will help participants:

  • Understand what biases are and how we process information.
  • Identify some of our biases.
  • Understand the impact of biases on decision making.
  • Build knowledge to move from awareness into action by becoming aware of our biases and mitigating them.

Most of us -- as leaders, professionals, and just people -- understand the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion and realize that we need to make changes to improve our organizations and communities.  But change happens at an individual level, so come prepared to understand, identify, and address the unconscious biases we all have.

The discussion will be a live Zoom Webinar Thursday, November 12 from 9:00-10:00 CT (8:00-9:00 MT).  Grab your coffee and breakfast, and join us for a rich discussion.  Free for PEN members; $20 for non-members.
