The Diversity Uncovered Training includes:

• Implicit Bias and Microaggressions are terms that often trigger fear, anxiety, and defensiveness from staff as they try to make sense of what these terms mean and do everything in their power to not be associated with them.

• Diversity Uncovered Online was designed to help staff deconstruct these terms and build a framework to talk about both conscious, intentional discrimination and unconscious, unintentional discrimination.

• This training will take staff on a journey of self-awareness and empathy-building that starts by addressing fears and concerns that exist around talking to staff about discrimination.

• Participants will then learn the difference between unconscious and conscious discrimination and explore challenges with identifying and interrupting them.

• Your team will walk away with common knowledge of diversity terms, practice talking about discrimination and challenges with one another, and helpful tools and tips to address discrimination in the workplace

• Participants will Identify what stereotypes are, the complexities around addressing them, and strategies to discuss them when they occur.

• Your team will develop a clear and simple framework to identify the differences between conscious and unconscious bias and discrimination and how they differ from each other 

• An introduction to Identifying hidden bias by learning self-awareness skills that will reduce the likelihood of unintentionally causing harm to another person with a microaggression.
