We are all unique products of our experiences which can be shaped by differences in
culture, family dynamics, education, previous employment, race, gender, taste in music,
height, where we live, and more. Before we can truly appreciate someone, we need to embrace that they are not the same as ourselves, no matter how much we have in common. At the same time, we may assume that people who look and sound different from us have nothing in common with us. But everyone wants to be successful, have good relationships, and be appreciated. Truly ethical organizations go beyond banning discrimination to create environments where differences are honored and shared connections are amplified.
In this session, we will explore how to identify threats of discrimination in historical
business norms, address them through thoughtful process improvement, and build
safeguards to challenge them going forward. We will end our session with a call to action so participants can apply what they have learned.
