Microaggressions in the Workplace
Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities Microaggressions have been defined as “brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities.” While they may not result in formal complaints or lawsuits, they do have consequences when it comes to morale, engagement, and retention. This session will explore the concept of microaggressions and will help participants identify effective strategies to prevent and interrupt these indignities when they arise in the workplace. |

Let’s Get Practical: Evidence-Based Ways to Build an Inclusive Workplace
Harvard Kennedy School Advancing diversity, equality and inclusion in our workplaces is essential and more topical than ever. Unconscious biases are a key cause of inequality in organizations today, yet research shows that de-biasing people’s minds is difficult and expensive. Fortunately, cutting-edge evidence points to proven and effective structural solutions that allow us to design environments, processes and systems that create a level playing field for all. By de-biasing organizations instead of individuals, we can make smart changes that have big impacts. In her session, Siri will discuss the latest insights from behavioral research and share practical strategies that advance equity in our workplaces through behavioral design, improved talent management and more inclusive culture. |

2020: The Intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Bias, and D&I
|
|
| In this high energy session, industry influencer Ben Eubanks will reveal how AI can help improve general D&I outcomes with everything from automated nudges and anti-biasing tools to diversity sourcing and candidate screening. Ben will share the results of a research experiment that compared AI to human engagement survey analysis, and found AI to be more accurate and less biased. You will be fascinated to learn what the outcomes suggest that humans should be doing instead. This session sponsored by Ultimate Software. |
