Respect and Inclusion is one of Dalhousie's Core Competencies. It is described as “promoting respect and inclusion by working successfully with a wide variety of people and encouraging participation and involvement”. Each competency defines specific behaviours at the individual level, team level and organizational level.

This week the focus is on examining our own biases and assumptions. Check out these two short Skillsoft Online videos:

Gender bias, Age bias, Cultural bias, Language bias or a specific Cognitive bias which are tendencies to think in certain ways that can influence how we make decisions.
