Course Overview:
Biases are natural - they’re the result of everything we’ve ever seen, heard, or experienced
influencing our opinions about someone or something – rather than the reality or the facts.
However, they shouldn’t go unchecked or unchallenged.
The aim of this training is to help delegates become aware of any biases they are currently unaware
of, and to challenge them by:
- understanding how unconscious bias works
- recognizing and acknowledging their own hidden preferences, assumptions, and biases
- knowing how to think more critically and consciously when making decisions
- being aware of the dangers of prejudice and stereotyping other people
- looking at how unconscious bias affects decision making, working relationships and
organizational culture.
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
- Analyze the danger behind the concepts of stereotypes for the workplace
- Explore the implications behind discrimination in the workplace
- Understand the cognitive processing behind the development of our values systems
through examining a sociological & psychological model behind the evolution of our values.
- Analyze some of our own lives and individual case studies to demonstrate some common
types of Unconscious bias.
By identifying, challenging, and reducing bias, management can create a more communicative,
diverse and successful workforce.
