Ever felt judged by the way you speak - or caught yourself making assumptions about others based on their accent? In today’s diverse workplaces, accents and language can carry hidden biases that influence how people are perceived, from their intelligence and competence to their likeability and trustworthiness.
This webinar will explore the impact of linguistic bias in Aotearoa New Zealand workplaces. Join our expert panel to uncover how accents and language choices shape perceptions and workplace dynamics.
We will discuss the stereotypes that impact hiring, promotions, and team interactions, and look at practical ways to create a more inclusive workplace culture that values diversity in all forms - including how we sound.
This session will leave you with practical insights and tools to identify and address linguistic bias in your organisation.
Diversity Sessions are interactive online conversations designed to deepen our understanding of inclusion issues affecting our organisations and our people.
Join us in a riveting discussion about how to create workplaces where everyone feels heard - literally and figuratively.
