Competency Checking: Uncovering a Tool of Systemic Racism
Training overview
When it comes to hiring Black and other talent of color, the pipeline isn’t broken; rather, it is the assumptions we make about who is competent and qualified. This keynote reveals the real culprit preventing a diverse workforce from forming and thriving: "Competency checking." What is competency checking, and how is it consciously and unconsciously to unjustly challenge the abilities and qualifications of Black people and other people of color, creating barriers to hiring, retention, and advancement?
Key takeaways
This keynote and session teach how to identify and dismantle these hidden mechanisms of bias-making diversity easier to achieve when we remove the systemic blocks preventing it.
