With keynote speaker, Meredith Gibson (AWIS National Interim CEO) and 50 Ways to Fight Bias Workshop facilitator, Doug Birk. One year into the pandemic, we’re in a moment of crisis for women. Millions of women have been driven out of the workforce by COVID-19. Many more are struggling with burnout and considering downshifting their careers or leaving their jobs. To avoid unwinding years of progress toward gender equality, companies need to act now to promote, hire, and retain women. Combating the biases women face at work is critical to getting this right. Research shows that bias contributes to women being passed over for jobs and promotions. Almost three in four women experience bias at work, and those who do are more likely to leave their jobs. And women of color, LGBTQ+ women, and women with disabilities face more acute biases. Yet only one in three employees, including managers, challenges biased behavior when they see it. Knowing that bias exists isn’t enough. We need to take action — and this 50 Ways to Fight Bias workshop can help. Who should attend: Anyone that wants to fight bias!
