EBHR has developed interactive sessions, tailored to your organizational needs, to raise awareness around Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging. Employee sessions focus on understanding bias and tools to enhance interpersonal interactions. Manager sessions go deeper and delve into how unconscious bias may impact decision-making and tools to support leading more consciously.
