Fall 2024 Corporate Program Member Events
Join us for our upcoming virtual workshop, “Designing inclusive conversations of performance and potential” on Thursday, September 19th from 9-10am PST. Organizations engage in conversations about talent and performance at many stages of employees’ careers, from hiring to promotions. These conversations can range from informal discussions about who will be asked to join a working group to formal talent reviews at which leaders align their standards for ratings and rankings of senior employees. While the goal is a fair and equal assessment of each individual, bias can creep into the process.
As a result of this workshop, participants will be able to catch bias, then engage in a conversation to block bias for a fairer evaluation of talent. Participants will leave the session with research-based tools that can help their organization more effectively identify, retain and promote top talent.
