SHINE LIGHT ON AN OVERLOOKED INCLUSION BARRIER

Accent Bias Research Project​

ACCENT – A HIDDEN BARRIER TO CONNECT?

Increasingly, we hear people talking about the impact accents have on the way we connect to and interact with one another in the informal organizational networks. 

The questions surrounding this topic are many: does accent impact how well people are integrated into organizational networks? How does it affect connectivity? Is this a hidden barrier to inclusion that must be addressed?

The answers, however, are very few. We at Innovisor want to change this. We have partnered up with Global Communication Specialist and best-selling author Heather Hansen to launch a ground-breaking research project on accent biases in organizations.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Innovisor is looking for co-sponsors to participate in our ground-breaking Accent Bias Research Project.
The requirements of a co-sponsorship are:

  • Team/function/organization of 100-150 people
  • English as a corporate language
  • Mix of native and non-native English speakers, as well as different accents
  • Available for 3-day data collection via 5-min survey in Q1 2023
  • Each sponsorship is  EUR 2.490,-
