Who Should Attend |
The Oregon Bankers Association's BIPOC Task Force is pleased to present this four-part webinar series featuring selected topics from the field of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Taught by Daryl Dixon, Director of Equity and Inclusion for Cascade Employers Association, these trainings have been selected for maximum relevancy to those in the banking industry.
About the DEI Training Sessions
This training goes beyond cultural awareness and valuing diversity. It is a catalyst for building an organization that is free from discrimination, and one that allows everyone to be appreciated and to make a meaningful contribution.
Participants will explore real life situations, and build and refine the skills necessary to understand, appreciate and communicate respect for others. They will also leave with a sense of responsibility for speaking up when inappropriate or discriminatory remarks are made, and how to become part of a solution. The result is an enhanced workplace, where diversity becomes a strength instead of a weakness, a workplace likely to have fewer instances of bias and discrimination and where everyone can function in an inclusive atmosphere. Key Learning Objectives:
This session looks deeply at unconscious and hidden bias that stems from the associations that people unknowingly hold about themselves and others based on perceptions of race and skin color.
Participants in this session will learn about the unconscious stereotypes and assumptions that often are contrary to espoused beliefs about racial equity and justice that people express. You will also learn to consider the ways to mitigate the negative impact and address Implicit Racial Bias both personally and professionally. Key Learning Objectives
This session provides an introduction to racial microaggressions and their numerous manifestations in workplace settings.
Participants will learn how different types of racial discrimination, and specifically those enacted through microaggressions, impact the lives of BIPOC employees and provide hands-on knowledge and strategies to approach, address, and intervene when such acts are present. We'll also give recommendations on how to reduce the prevalence and influence of microaggressions on recipients. Key Learning Objectives
This session is designed to improve communication in a diverse workplace. We will address common comments that are well intended but have harmful effects. Although well intended, these kinds of statements can be offensive, racist, and hurtful. We will examine harmful statements and create new language that is inclusive and respectful. Employees won't get it right every time but this training will definitely assist in reducing the probability of repeating these gaffes.
