Managing Unconscious Bias in the Dealership

In this interactive workshop, we make the diversity discussion practical by exploring both conscious and unconscious bias. Research shows that we all instinctively harbor biases based on our experiences, beliefs, values, and conditioning.  It’s a part of human nature, and in the dealership, we sometimes behave toward customers and fellow employees in a way that is based on those biases.

This workshop is designed to raise awareness of these biases and to provide tools, knowledge, and skills needed to manage them.
