And I, I, I have a small team of five people. I'm a sales manager and we were going to hire 11 more. And the recruiting company, they came up with a candidate and it was just after this training. So I, my awareness was up here and, and, and, and, and, and I came to, to this interview with a guy called Navit. I was well prepared, I think questions and. Small talk about our values in the company. I wanted to make a good impression And and and naveed. An engineer from Iran. He was super open minded. He was well dressed and and we had a good conversation. But my problem was that during the interview I kept thinking, Michael, don't be biased, don't be biased and, and, and M am I biased because he's an engineer like myself? Good morning, everyone. Thank you so much for coming. It is truly wonderful to see so many familiar faces. I can proudly say that we made significant strides towards that goal. You're looking bright. It is important that the European Commission. Actually is willing to look at applications from US social partners. I will need you to take these ideas back to your organization. In our workforce phase, with rapid technological advances and global challenges, we all know that innovation is non-negotiable, that the Commission supports social dialogue in various ways. There is a basis in the Treaty we are required to do so. Manager in your area of work, I believe is not easy and it it's. It's actually a something brave from my point of view to do so and I truly believe that 1,000,000 managers can make a difference. Our esteemed politicians in the European. Muitas empresas durante 11 anos da minha vida recente e recentemente eleito eurodeputado, assumindo fun����es de gest��o e de lideran��a. Tomo muitas e muitas decis��es todos os dias. Os processos internos inconscientes podem influenciar escolhas estrat��gicas? Started an awareness and a good dialogue. This person must be good at their job based on no evidence. So what is going on? And they realized that they had built an app for right-handed people. One thing I want to share as well as the two insights is that as managers and as leaders, it is very important to walk the talk. Decisions and the choices that we made during the training where in line with what is going on in the other organizations that are dealing with the subject of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. Put together our experience and our feelings. With reference to what we had learned in the webinars. So Europe is united in diversity, but but not that much. What worked a lot was trying to create a a mutual learning attitude, because I consider myself as very open, conscious of diversity. I've worked with people from all over the world and so on. And yet. I found out how biased I was and I thought at that time that I was very inclusive person and also that maybe I met biases due to my age. But it's now 20 years back and I'm still training and you helped me to increase my awareness and awareness is one of the big things. Because you opened my, you helped me to open my eyes and reflect on my own leadership. And sadly, the, the type of bias that that scores the highest and therefore is the most problematic is the LGBT plus bias. So I think this really emphasizes that it's important that interventions are based on the data and not the gut feelings about what's most important to address. So how are you? I sees the world now. SCO, we can either have within the next 5 years 20 people outside the job market because of automation, or we can have four day work week.

Thank you very much Jovita for also while I feel terrible, we were struggling on the unconscious bias in real life and we're repeating ourselves. I have to say that I have been victim of bias too. We need to be more than ever a responsible, responsible managers. Gianna Compana. Said this morning that a million managers might make a difference. Maybe we are in the middle of this path. It's up to you to play again, to accelerate awareness, to share tips, and to work on yourself. To have confidence in yourself, to have confidence in orders, to be courageous, brave. The world was said several times this morning. And it's not easy to be brave. Being different, to be a better manager, to be more competitive. You can do it for the other part of yourself.
