Presentation description
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) have become essential concerns for organizations in recent years. Increasingly, it is recognized that DE&I-related issues directly impact employees’ mental health, leading to detrimental consequences for collective performance and team engagement. This reality highlights the need for a proactive approach to address these challenges. In this context, Global-Watch has designed a conference dedicated to exploring DE&I, with a particular focus on unconscious cognitive biases, which often underlie discrimination and inequality in the workplace.
