Gain practical strategies to recognise and reduce unconscious bias in the workplace. This course explores how bias influences decisions and team dynamics—equipping participants to foster fairness, inclusivity, and stronger collaboration.
Course Overview
This course provides a comprehensive exploration of unconscious biases, addressing prevalent types such as gender bias, racial bias, age bias, and general biases. Participants delve into the nuances of how these biases manifest in everyday interactions, decision-making processes, and team dynamics within the workplace. Understanding the subtle ways biases can influence behaviour and judgments is crucial for fostering a more inclusive and equitable environment.
Participants will acquire practical strategies to identify and mitigate unconscious biases. This includes techniques for promoting fairness in hiring practices, conducting performance evaluations, and facilitating team collaborations. By enhancing their awareness and sensitivity to these biases, individuals can contribute to creating a workplace culture where diversity is respected, and all team members feel valued and empowered.
Duration and Delivery
This course offers two options:
- a full-day (8 hours)
- a half-day (4 hours)
Both options are available either as face-to-face sessions for up to 18 participants or as virtual sessions for up to 9 participants.
Course Customisation
To ensure our training meets the specific needs of your organisation, our Instructional Design Team will facilitate a virtual meeting to customise and contextualise the content and activities in line with your workplace procedures and practices, and develop suitable activities, scenarios, and workplace application strategies to ensure meaningful outcomes.
Course Inclusions
