Talent Instinct with Chantal Penny: 16 Unconscious Bias with guest, Craig Dealing, Master Builders Qld

Talent Instinct with Chantal Penny Introduction

The ‘Talent Instinct’ podcast episode 16 by Chantal Penny with guest, Craig Dearling, from Master Builders Qld, is an electrifying space where we dive into how construction business owners revamp their hunt for top-tier talent by ‘instinctivizing’ your efforts. In this episode we discuss a very topical issue 'Unconscious Bias' after the newslines read this week 'Gender Pay Gap Culprits Revealed'. Craig and myself share examples of 'unconscious bias' from our experience in the industry covering, age, race, culture and gender, our move away from the 'pale, stale, male' as well as good news stories. We provide suggestions on how to identify and test for unconscious bias, the benefits of thinking differently (long-term thinking -v- project driven thinking), being part of the change to create positive environments in the workplace to attract the best candidates. Also numerous tried and successful suggestions in how to lead from the front, be your authentic self and provide psychological safety in the workplace. Craig shares on how Master Builders can support businesses in construction through their various training opportunities, together with his '3 Biggest Takeaways on Unconscious Bias Self Checks' to call out bad behaviour and the numerous benefits of inclusivity and diversity. After all, as Craig stated, "people build projects".

Let’s face it, making the right hire for your business has never been more paramount. The stakes of the wrong hire can disrupt performance, profit, culture and succession planning. Talent Instinct isn’t about playing safe, it’s about conquering with calculated instinct.

Enjoy!
