Unconscious Bias Interviewing and Selection Workshop

The cost of acquiring quality talent is huge. Organizations cannot afford to allow for bias to affect the selection process. This workshop takes unconscious bias development to a very focused level: interviewing and selection. Leaders make better hiring decisions when they have a heightened level of personal awareness. In this client customized workshop, participants apply these learnings in realistic experiential activities to improve their candidate selection.
