Unconscious Bias Open Course

A non-judgmental approach aimed at understanding how unconscious bias operates in the workplace

Course Overview

In this course, you will find out what unconscious bias is (and is not), and learn how it can undermine organisational goals and strategies. The course will offer you the opportunity to increase self-awareness, learn new information and get up to speed with the latest research.

We will identify actions to promote equality and tackle all forms of discrimination to foster good relationships between diverse groups of people. You will gain the skills to address individual and organisational biases with confidence.

Ideal for staff in any sector, this course provides delegates with an understanding of how the values, opinions and prejudices of an individual can influence those around them, and how this can lead to discrimination.

Why is it important?

Unconscious or unintentional bias is widespread in the workplace and usually unrecognised. It is often based on outdated and irrational assumptions about the roles of racially diverse people, people with disabilities, men and women, peoples' ages, sexuality, religion/belief at work.

It may manifest itself in language, behaviour and decisions that inhibit the recruitment and progression of skilled individuals. It usually means businesses are not acting in their own best interests by failing to make the most of all available talent.

What You Will Learn

This course explains how we can overcome our unconscious biases to improve decision making and professional relationships, and to create more open, inclusive and effective organisations.

Using examples and interactive exercises, the course takes a straightforward look at one of the most important current issues in diversity management.
