Everyone has unconscious biases. They live in the recesses of the human brain without us realizing it. These biases are grown in each individual and can greatly influence the day to day decisions that are made both at home and at work.
Our Unconscious Bias workshop will introduce you to the ideas and techniques for defining and understanding different unconscious biases. It will show the effects that these biases have on the culture and the business practices of a company. The workshop will also cover the steps to introduce a successful unconscious bias training program in your organization.
There are two categories of bias in studies today: conscious or explicit biases and unconscious or implicit biases. Unconscious bias is usually thought of as social stereotypes that typically focus on others that are not from the same conscious area. Here are some quick facts about unconscious bias: - Unconscious bias is more common than the conscious or explicit bias. - Unconscious bias may not concur with the conscious bias of an individual. - Unconscious bias may be triggered by an event or situation.
Workshop Objectives:• Define various types of unconscious biases.• Identify where these biases come from and how they are engrained in our decision making.• Successfully confront unconscious biases individually.• Identify the effects of unconscious biases in the workplace.• Exhibit how to implement an unconscious bias-based training in the workplace.• Identify the steps for handling an unconscious bias-based complaint at work.
