LGBT+ What does the plus mean, what is the relevance to HR professionals?

LGBT+ is an "inclusive" way to represent different gender and sexuality identities.

We know what LGBT stands for but there are now many other terms people use to define their gender and sexuality. This session will explain some of the terms you may not be familiar with and why it is important to respect those identities

Unconscious Bias

Unconscious biases are unconscious feelings we have towards other people – unconscious feelings that play a strong part in influencing our judgement of certain people and groups, away from being balanced or even-handed, in many different areas of life.

Unconscious bias at work can influence decisions in recruitment, promotion, staff development and recognition and can lead to a less diverse workforce. Employers can overlook talented workers and instead favour those who share their own characteristics or views.

Where unconscious bias is against a protected characteristic, it can be discriminatory. For example if during a recruitment process an employer ignores the skills and experience of a candidate who is a different race than them and appoints another candidate who is the same race, this could be discriminatory.

Explore your biases and develop strategies to deal with them.
