Unconscious bias in the workplace, especially in hiring, can lead to unintentional discrimination and a less diverse employee base. That’s why the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce (NKY Chamber) will host a workshop on “Hiring Bias,” Thursday, January 16.
Priya Klocek, President & CEO of Consultant On the Go LLC, will lead the session. Klocek has more than 20 years of experience working in talent management, leadership development, change management, and diversity & inclusion.
“Hiring bias is becoming more of a hot topic in human resources, especially in regards to technology,” said Debby Shipp, vice rresident of Business Growth and International Trade at the NKY Chamber. “Attendees of this workshop will learn how to identify bias and implement solutions in their business and hire for their needs.”
“Hiring Bias” will run from 7:30 – 9:30 a.m. at Kenton County Library’s Erlanger Branch (401 Kenton Lands Rd Erlanger, KY 41018). A light breakfast and refreshments will be provided. Registration is $25 for NKY Chamber members, $40 for future NKY Chamber members, and $20 for NKYP Passport holders.
