[5/25 Zoom Event] 'Unconscious Bias' Program Briefing Session

By addressing "unconscious bias," we respect diversity and improve organizational performance!

Are such misconceptions occurring in the workplace? ▼ Female employees with children cannot be entrusted with responsible work ▼ Employees from the 'Yutori' generation lack motivation for challenges ▼ Foreign employees are careless in their work and do not listen ▼ Employees who have been with the company for many years should be promoted over those who have changed jobs These are examples of unconscious bias, which refers to distorted views and assumptions that one may not even be aware of. In recent years, this has become a prominent topic, particularly in the realm of 'Diversity & Inclusion.' Everyone has some form of unconscious bias, which can not only negatively affect workplace relationships but also potentially harm the overall performance of the organization. Franklin Covey Japan will begin offering a new program to understand and address these unconscious biases starting July 21. This high-quality content has been implemented in global companies around the world since 2018. *For more details, please refer to the related materials available for download in PDF format.
