“Explore Power, Privilege & Inequity at Work” empowers leaders by examining the relationship between personal identity, power, and privilege and how they intersect to create inequities in the workplace.  Through a review of the Cycle of Socialization, leaders can examine the sources of acquired values and attitudes and discuss workplace power dynamics through the lens of intersectionality. 

Through these activities, learners will learn how cultural assumptions become learned behaviors, thoughts, and beliefs that shape your implicit bias and influence decision-making across the employee lifecycle. Participants will leave the session with a goal to ensure equity in a policy, practice,  or procedure.  

Once you register, you’ll have access to asynchronous articles and tools.

• Identify the socialized messages received throughout a person’s life
• Describe how socialization influences personal & cultural identity beliefs in the workplace
• Recognize the general characteristics of structural workplace inequality
