Course Overview
Unconscious biases are automatic, unintentional, learned stereotypes which are deeply ingrained. They are important to be aware of because they influence everything we do and every decision we make. The effects of unconscious or unintentional bias resonate throughout the entire structure of an organisation. From the people you hire, to the processes in place, unconscious bias affects everything and everyone. However, managers and leaders who are unaware of their own unconscious biases can create homogenous, non-diverse teams which are less effective and creative than diverse ones.
Our Unconscious Bias course is digitally delivered and will help you to create environments that embed diversity, equality and inclusion.
By taking this course you will practice fairer thinking to maintain inclusive processes and practices.
Please note, this course can be delivered either virtually, face to face, or it can be delivered with a blend of both formats. We will customise the content and duration in line with your learning and development requirements.
