 Is It Bias? Making Diversity Work, a DVD-Based Training Program
By Sondra Thiederman, Ph.D.
These materials target the more subtle forms of bias that insidiously undermine our ability to build truly inclusive workplaces.
See Mike Streeter's Review
Bias costs organizations billions in lost productivity, high turnover, and low morale, not to mention the risk of expensive litigation.
Getting rid of bias is within our control. It is not a mystery. It is a choice and we each have the power to make that choice.
This DVD-based course, featuring Dr. Sondra Thiederman, targets the more subtle forms of bias that insidiously undermine our ability to build truly inclusive workplaces.
”Is It Bias? Making Diversity Work”, can become the cornerstone for new training initiatives in diversity and inclusion or to enhance your existing curriculum.
