Unlocking Unconscious Bias

Unconscious bias exists outside our awareness. Despite our best efforts to be fair and transparent, it can unconsciously influence our decision-making. It is important that everyone is able to identify potential unconscious biases and how they impact our behaviour and interactions with others.

This half-day interactive workshop will help all staff to look beyond unconscious bias, develop skills and strategies to interrupt and minimise the impact of unconscious bias and tap into and achieve the most from the diverse talents of one’s team.

For an introduction to Unconscious Bias you can watch this short LinkedIn Learning Course.
