Unconscious bias is rife in organisations. Its impact is evident in recruitment, career development, team work, promotions and redundancies. It affects who gets on and who gets out. Unsurprising then that tackling unconscious bias has become a key issue for organisations taking a strong approach on their diversity and inclusion issues.

Chaired by Trevor Phillips, this unique event is the first conference to focus exclusively on this topic in the UK. With contributions from Prof Binna Kandola, author of the ground breaking book on this subject - The Value of Difference, and Dr Nic Hammarling, Head of Diversity at Pearn Kandola, the conference will also feature live case studies from diversity award winning organisations including Arup, Freshfields, the Home Office, KPMG, Rolls Royce and UBS.

The conference programme will focus on:
  • Practical strategies: What are best-practice organisations doing to tackle unconscious bias?
  • Latest research: The impact of unconscious bias workshops - what actually works to reduce bias in the workplace?
  • Paradigm shifts: Cutting-edge thinking on the next steps in banishing bias.

Key topics that will be explored at this conference include:
  • Effective methods to engage leaders in managing unconscious bias.
  • Inherent contradictions in managing unconscious bias.
  • Demonstrable impacts - improving retention rates for women, increasing employee engagement and increased challenging between colleagues
  • Measuring and increasing inclusion within your organisation.
