The Cook Ross everyday bias workshop is built around Cook Ross’ PAUSE™ model for disrupting bias. In this workshop, participants will learn how to disrupt the impact of bias in interactions and decision- making at work by implementing each step of the model.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain how bias functions and its impact on decision-making
- Examine how experiences and identities shape biases
- Practice strategies to disrupt bias
The Cook Ross Approach: With more than 27 years of experience addressing organizational development issues, including deep expertise with unconscious bias (UB) in the workplace, Cook Ross has developed a series of effective diversity and inclusion (D&I) intervention strategies.
