  We help companies attract and retain diverse and qualified talent by building an inclusive culture through inclusive communication using technology. It is the world’s first software platform that automatically detects social biases across an organization’s external communication – website text, social media and job ads – and suggests inclusive alternatives. Our platform allows users to convert the three most prevalent social biases – gender, ethnicity and age – into non-biased content… Show more We help companies attract and retain diverse and qualified talent by building an inclusive culture through inclusive communication using technology.

  If you could remove gender bias from a text as easily as you can remove spelling mistakes, how would it change the world? We believe that technology can help achieve faster gender balance and diversity, particularly in businesses. By running our gender scanner over job ads, it can make job descriptions equally attractive to both talented women and men by neutralizing the gender of their content. Gender neutral job ads can lead to a more balanced workforce. If you could remove gender bias from a text as easily as you can remove spelling mistakes, how would it change the world?

  The purpose is to empower women in leadership. The lecture is based on a combination of interactive activities, scientific articles and social psychology. It brings the students through what the unconscious bias is and how their self-perception is influenced by their own self-prejudgements (self-bias) and their community bias. It also includes a list of solutions and actions that they can implement in their lives to be empowered. The purpose is to empower women in leadership.
