Most organisations have clear policies on discrimination and would claim to have a zero-tolerance approach to racist attitudes and behaviours. However, racism and racial bias remain a problem in the workplace.
In this webinar with leading film-based learning provider Skill Boosters, we share “lived experiences” from a range of employees from all backgrounds on how they’ve experienced racial bias, and discuss what organisations can do to tackle them.
The webinar covered:
- How we define ‘racism’ and ‘racial bias’ and the changing nature of racism
- The impact of racial and cultural stereotypes
- How racial bias can impact workplace processes, such as recruitment and selection, onboarding and promotion
- Ways in which racial bias can be displayed in workplace behaviours
- How to find out whether racial bias is a problem in your organisation
- Tips for leaders and all staff for tackling racial bias at work
Skill Boosters’ film-based racial bias training
Racial bias and discrimination continue to impact negatively on the working lives of people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds. Developed in partnership with leading business psychology consultancy Pearn Kandola, our race bias course takes a bold look at the nature of ‘modern racism’ and its influence in the workplace. Through powerful interviews and scenario films, it sets out the crucial roles that all staff have to play in tackling it.
