SUMMARY:Lancaster Speaker Series: Dr. Tanya De Mello - Unconscious Biases
DESCRIPTION:Program \nThis session will explore how inclusion\, belonging\, and equity operate in workplaces through a labour\, employment\, and human rights lens. Drawing on research and practice\, Dr. De Mello will highlight how organizations\, including universities\, often fall short of reflecting the diversity of the communities they serve\, despite widespread use of equity and diversity language. The session will emphasize that a genuine sense of belonging is a key driver of job satisfaction\, employee well-being\, and retention\, and is shaped by everyday decisions about inclusion\, recognition\, and opportunity. Participants are invited to examine how conscious and unconscious biases influence the ways in which they engage and work. Rather than offering prescriptive solutions\, the session intentionally centres introspection and discomfort as necessary components of meaningful change. The discussion connects individual decision making to broader structural patterns\, reinforcing that inclusive workplaces are not created through intention alone but through sustained\, reflective practice and accountability. \n\n    \n        \n            Select an option\n                                            \n                    Live Webinar                \n                    \n\n        \n\n        Add to Cart\n    \n\n    \n     \nSpeakers \nDr. Tanya (Toni) De Mello \nVice President\, Equity and Community Inclusion\n\nAccreditation \nCPD\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR Alberta for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR BC & Yukon for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved for Continuing Professional Development 1 hours under Section A of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Log of the Human Resource Professionals Association (HRPA).\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThis program has been approved by the Law Society of British Columbia for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of New Brunswick may consider this program for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of Ontario may consider counting this program for 1 Substantive hours; 0 Professionalism hours.\nMembers of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society may count this program for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\nAdditional InformationRegistration Fee – Single Attendee\nLive webinar: $49 \n(Registrations must be paid in advance of the webinar)\nPlease contact us by email\, or by phone at (416) 977-6618\, for discount pricing for additional participants and group orders.
