Unconscious Bias

Our unconscious bias training has been created to identify, challenge, and reduce unconscious bias in the workplace. This online course is suitable for use in all industries. Upon completing our unconscious bias course, employees will understand the most common types of biases, as well as the negative impacts that unconscious bias can have on an organisation. Workplaces with less bias tend to cultivate fairer, more diverse, and open cultures.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Understand what the most common types of unconscious bias are and how the mind works to form these
• Learn to train your mind to reduce bias and understand the dangers of allowing yourself to make assumptions
• Understand the negative impact unconscious bias’ can have on organisations

SECTION 1

This first section goes into what unconscious biases are, the common types, and how they are formed. It looks at how the mind works, how it stores information, and how it creates negative biases. There’s also a couple of little training exercises to get you thinking about yourself and your workplace!

SECTION 2

Now we look at the four key areas for tackling bias – self-awareness, acknowledging bias, challenging bias, and training our minds to think differently. We look at stereotyping, body language (micro-actions), and the dangers of making assumptions.
