Presenter: Shambricia Spencer, Planned Parenthood Federation of America
This session will describe Planned Parenthood’s bold strategy aimed at improving employee engagement and patient experience through an emphasis on diversity, inclusion and equity. Planned Parenthood has partnered with researchers at Perception Institute to develop the Mind Sciences on Difference: Featuring Our Brains on Race™ Training Program, where employees learn how brains respond to racial difference in ways that can undermine employee engagement and patient experience.
This session will present core concepts from the Mind Sciences program including implicit bias, racial anxiety and stereotype threat. Additionally, we will review and discuss strategies to align individual behaviors and institutional practices with values of inclusion and equity.
