Fossil Group knows that facilitating open and honest conversations about bias, as well as putting practical tools to combat bias into their employees’ hands, is key to curating an inclusive environment. When looking for an interactive, scalable program to help foster these conversations, Fossil Group turned to their trusted partner, Lean In, and piloted 50 Ways to Fight Bias.
“As part of our continued efforts to ensure an inclusive culture, we partnered with Lean In to bring 50 Ways to our managers. We wanted managers to feel empowered to discuss and address bias with their teams. 50 Ways helped our people feel like they could bring their full, authentic selves to work.”
—Darren Hart, CHRO at Fossil Group
Managers, men
Managers, women
Both men and women managers felt more equipped to discuss bias with their teams after going through the 50 Ways program.
Fossil Group recognized the unique opportunity managers have as “culture-keepers” of the organization to lead conversations about bias with their teams. By launching the 50 Ways program, Fossil Group gave managers more confidence to lead powerful and engaging conversations with their teams about gender bias.
“I found 50 Ways to be incredibly enlightening and helpful. I think bias happens in so many forms and this program brings these situations to life and provides real life solutions.”
Not all teams are the same. In order to address bias, it is important to implement unconscious bias training that meets employees where they are. 50 Ways gave managers the tools to talk about gender bias in a way that best worked for their teams, and as a result, their team members feel more equipped to challenge gender bias.
