Research in neuroscience and psychology has highlighted the impact that unconscious bias has on people’s behaviour, decisions, and interactions, both in their personal and professional lives. In the recruitment process, unconscious bias can prevent an individual from fairly evaluating candidates and offering the job to the best talent. This inaugural webinar – which is part of the Employer Perspectives webinar series brought to you by the Immigrant Employment Councils of Canada (IECC) and New Canadians – focused on discussing the issues pertaining to implicit bias faced by newcomer professionals in Canada, identifying the blindspots, and exploring ways to remove unconscious hiring bias with practical tools. Led by Vivian Li, an HR thought leader in diversity and inclusion, and Raj Dam from TRIEC, this webinar is a powerful resource for employers across small, medium, and large Canadian organizations to recognize and mitigate the issues of concern in their recruitment practices and take a positive step towards immigrant inclusion in the Canadian workplaces.
