Author, Stacey Gordon UNBIAS: Addressing Unconscious Bias At Work

UNBIAS: Addressing Unconscious Bias At Work A step-by-step guide on creating workplace cultures where employees feel they belong. Dismantling unhealthy workplaces involves much more than talking about it, and more than charts, graphs, and statistics—it requires action. Although it's increasingly common for businesses of all shapes and sizes to appreciate the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace, many are often unaware of bias in the cultures they've created. Others might know there's a problem, but don't know how to properly address it. Stacey will help you understand concepts of workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion, show how to identify bias, and provides the tools for actively removing barriers and ensuring equity throughout an organization.

Stacey Gordon is the CEO of Rework Work, a company that focuses on reworking how organizations can inclusively recruit, hire, and engage employees, effectively creating inclusion and belonging for all. She has coached people managers and executive leaders from companies such as American Express, ADP, Kia Motors, HP, Walmart, and many others on improving DEI strategies. Stacey is also the creator of the second most viewed course across the LinkedIn learning platform, surpassing more than 1 million unique learners. Her unconscious bias course has been translated into at least four languages and has been featured by LinkedIn, Microsoft, and Virgin America (now Alaska Airlines). Stacey was a finalist for Los Angeles Business Journal's Women Helping Women Award and was recognized by Forbes as a Top 3 Business Leader Who Spoke Out About Diversity & Inclusion. She has an MBA from Pepperdine University Business School, a SHRM-SCP certification and SHRM Inclusive Workplace Culture Credential.
