ACS Workshops will facilitate learning with “key takeaways” that are “actionable”, whereby participants can take back learnings to their respective organisations and/or roles. ACS Victoria will run four Diversity and Inclusion workshops throughout the year, and the benchmark duration for each is two hours. Workshops will range from 20-30 participants at each session. It is envisaged that members may not attend all four workshops, and therefore these have been designed with this in mind. Workshop 1 - Unconscious Bias Unconscious bias is the prejudice or favoritism that we unknowingly exercise about those around us. Left unchecked it can negatively impact our decision-making and create real limitations for individuals and organisations. In an interactive session that will challenge you to think differently, Nicola Laver, SEEK’s Client Training Manager, will explain why unconscious biases occur and their potential impact. Nicola will provide insights and tools to help you make robust and high-quality recruitment decisions. Remaining workshops for 2019 are as follows; <ul><li>Monday 17 June: <a href="https://www.acs.org.au/cpd-education/event-detail.html?eventId=7010o000001JOeO" target="_blank">Workshop 2 - </a><a href="https://www.acs.org.au/cpd-education/event-detail.html?eventId=7010o000001JOeO" target="_blank">How do we create and foster an inclusive team?</a></li><li>Monday 12 August: <a href="https://www.acs.org.au/cpd-education/event-detail.html?eventId=7010o000001JOok" target="_blank">Workshop 3 - Creating inclusive virtual teams, conducting inclusive virtual meetings</a></li><li>Monday 7 October: <a href="https://www.acs.org.au/cpd-education/event-detail.html?eventId=7010o000001JOeT" target="_blank">Workshop 4 - Inclusive Working Styles - leveraging flexibility and workforce agility with employees</a></li></ul> Single workshop ticket: <ul><li>Member - $50.00 (Inc GST)</li><li>Non-member - $75.00 (Inc GST)</li></ul> Packaged Workshop tickets (all four sessions): <ul><li>Member - $150.00 (Inc GST)</li><li>Non-member - $225.00 (Inc GST)</li></ul> To book the four workshop package, please contact T'arne Whelan at <a href="mailto:tarne.whelan@acs.org.au" target="_blank">tarne.whelan@acs.org.au</a>.
