Diversity 201™ - Look, I’m Color Blind!

AWARD WINNER!

Tackling Bias & Stereotypes in the Workplace

Telly Award Winner! Many people see being “color blind” as a solution to racial bias. But it can keep us from seeing what’s happening right in front of us. Our society as well as the workplace is not color blind. It never has been. Points of identity, like gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnic background or age… all matter to people. To say that you don’t see them is denying the existence of something that has a significant impact on our relationships.

Additional Information

If you don’t recognize when biases cause people to be treated unfairly, you run the risk of damaging relationships, lower productivity, creativity, innovation… and so much more. An inclusive, equitable and respectful workplace counteracts biases often unknowingly (and even knowingly) brought in.
