Description

The LACC is, once again, honored to join forces together with
PwC Luxembourg and AmCham Luxembourg
for the fifth annual

PwC International Women’s Day presentation

#BreakTheBias 

Discussion points will include:

  • When you hear the word bias, what’s the first thought that pops into your mind? How would you define bias ? Is bias innate or learned? Which bias do you anticipate in your profession? How can you detect them? How prejudicial can bias be and towards which particular group?

  • Which bias do you consider is a priority to tackle in the workplace and why (in terms of impact on the organization, its attractiveness, and ability to retain talents)?

  • If budget and time were not a constraint, which policy, initiative or best practices would you like to design and implement? Do you already have one in place? What are the greatest challenges faced when fighting against discrimination in the workplace?
