Building Stronger Work Relationships with People from Different Backgrounds
Building strong relationships at work with people from different backgrounds is vital to physical and psychological health, work engagement, learning, collaboration, and productivity. Yet, the lack of focus on strengthening work relationships can threaten these positive outcomes. In this talk, Dr. Creary examines and provides strategies for cultivating high-quality relationships at work, including having difficult conversations about demographic differences with each other and becoming better allies and sponsors for one another.
-
Reducing Bias in Selection Processes
Research suggests that we make assumptions about others and evaluate their suitability for roles in organizations based on their traits, social group memberships, physical appearance, leisure activities, and similarity to ourselves. Yet, these assumptions can reinforce biased decision making that contributes to inequity in organizations. In this talk, Dr. Creary examines and provides strategies for reducing bias in hiring, promotion, and team member selection processes.
