Over 90% of unconscious bias trainings are being ineffective, as the job is not done with "just" making mental shortcuts visible. But how can you ensure that you and your team are not only aware of their biases, but also take action? In this session Amelia and Viktoria provide you with the fundamental knowledge about unconscious bias and a clear roadmap on how to turn your company's biases into an inclusive mindset. This leads to not only to making better business decisions - e.g. in hiring or when it comes to promotions - but also creates a more inclusive company culture where all employees can belong.

50/50 gender divide in leadership positions, gender pay gap-analysis & actions and standardized hiring procedures - these are just a few of the major successes the Viennese scale-up Storebox has achieved in its DEI Journey.

But not without some f*ck-ups along the way. Diana, head of people and culture at Storebox, will share the scaleup's DEI journey and major learnings from the past years, equipping you with the knowledge how to avoid mistakes. Learn why DEI strategies fail and how to fix it in this workshop.

Leadership figures have a key role to play in establishing inclusive, non-discriminatory workplaces. An inclusive leadership strategy is often the key to lived diversity in the workplace. But what is a successful, inclusive leader, and where is the best place to start? Which personal characteristics and which structural conditions influence inclusive leadership? We will discuss these and other topics in the workshop. Feel free to bring specific questions or cases that we can discuss as examples.

Our mental wellness is significantly impacted by our environment. If the workplace is where one’s mental defences are always on full alert, that takes away not only from the individual’s energy, but also the group’s performance. Workplace safety needs to include psychological safety to thrive and flourish. We are going to take a closer look at the why and how of psychological safety at work. Together, we look into the various aspects of psychological safety and how it can become you and your company’s superpower.
