Overview: Understanding and Addressing Unconscious Bias in the Workplace
Whether you engage in hiring, managing internal transitions, or nurturing early-career talent, understanding and addressing biases are essential for fostering inclusivity and informed decision-making.
Unconscious bias profoundly influences decision-making, often resulting in missed opportunities to create a diverse and inclusive workforce. In this interactive workshop, participants will explore distinct types of unconscious bias through real-life examples, gaining insights into how bias impacts our judgment. We will walk through day-to-day situations where bias plays a role, fostering a deeper understanding of its effects and then equip participants with actionable strategies to create a fair and positive work environment. Participants will learn tools to challenge internal stereotypes within their workplace.
Course Description: Exploring Unconscious Bias
Exploring Different Forms of Unconscious Bias
Whether it is Confirmation Bias, the Horn/Halo Effect, Beauty Bias, or Authority Bias, all impact our judgment and decision-making process.
Recognising and Identifying Our Own Biases
Identify and analyse where our own biases lie on a day-to-day basis and the impact this has on our daily lives.
People and Role Stereotypes

Learn how to challenge Unconscious Bias in our colleagues or managers to make a positive change within our everyday environment.
Our Responsibilities Under the Equality Act 2010
